It's been a busy time of late, hence the lack of posting! I have been doing lots of Shiatsu so my poor little blog has been a bit neglected. I really had not realised how much a part of my life blogging had become as I really miss posting and commenting on other people's blogs! Still I am happy to be using my Shiatsu skills and I get a good deal out of helping others and that includes our four-legged friends! Not much done on the sewing front either as I have had to put my sewing machine away. I usually keep it ready to go in the little room I use for Shiatsu but I have decided that for now I will have to sew somewhere else in the house!
I have been meaning to share these photos with you all for sometime now. Our local church has a flower festival every summer and this year my friend Heather (who is also a member of my embroidery group) asked several of the group if we would be willing to exhibit some of our embroidery. It was all displayed in a small room off of the main body of the church and looked really lovely.
My finished (at last !) blue cushion was my contribution....
A beautiful display created by one of the congregation. I just love the combination of the blue and silver. The church looked absolutely beautiful and I spent a wonderful afternoon looking at all the displays
I am also thrilled to be the recipient of a couple of awards, one from Sandra over at Shropshire Girl.
Started by Bella-Enchanted the award is to be "awarded to those that are just nice people , good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world". Thankyou Sandra x
And thankyou also to Marie over at Wild Rose for this award - thanks Marie x
What a super floral display - and your cushion blends in beautifully!!
Congratulations on your awards!
Good to see you back - and to hear that you've been busy with your Shiatsu.

Congrats on your awards. Your cushion is beautiful and how clever of you to tone the colour scheme with the flowers!

Hi Jane
Yes, 3½ months since the wedding. Unbelievable, isn't it! Thanks for popping by!

The cushion looks beautiful... I love the monochromatic style of embroidery. I have to say, I just flicked over the photos first and nearly had kittens when I thought the church window was in your house! (I did read it more carefully then!)
