Thanks to Cheryl at Gone Stitching I was able to join in with her Friday Night With Friends event. This is what I've been working on...
It's another of Claire Turpin's cushion designs, Pip and Ellie, which will go to my other niece. I really love the bright fabrics I managed to find and I find the stitching so relaxing.
I can't wait to see what everyone else did tonight. If you'd like to see too you can check the list here.
I also have to share some photos I took on our walk this afternoon. We now live close to a lake and took little Miss M for a stroll this arvo as the rain had disappeared for awhile. Spring has definitely sprung as the 2 swans we have recently seen on the lake now have a nest and, apparently, 4 eggs. We can't wait to see how things progress and look forward to showing Miss M some cygnetts soon.

Love the fabric you are working with and those lovely plump birdies are so cute.
Thanks Jeanette.
Thanks Michelle. We went to check on the nest again yesterday. A lady we spoke to on Friday (who told us about the eggs) said they had a nest a couple of years ago but none of the eggs were viable, which was a shame. Hopefully these ones will produce some beautiful babies.
Thanks very much Peg.
Thanks Val. It is lovely to still have some nature around isn't it? We have spent most of our life in the Pilbara (NW of WA) and miss the country so it is lovely to be able to have that little bit of country with the lake.
Thanks Maddy. I picked them up at the craft show in Perth in May and have been hanging out to try them.
