some flowers and updates

Been out for a drive here on the island the other sunday in seach of fields of Tulips but we had only seen a few fields of daffodils, think the Tulips aren't in bloom yet.



Yesterday, we went to a friends birthday just for coffee and saw this field of tulips on the way.



The kids are with their friends so after the coffee we decided to stopped at one of the restaurant along the small forest here for lunch.

A small finish from the Cricket Collection for Lynda's RR. This is the last of the RR's and i am so glad it is now all done, though later than it was planned.

Look at this lovely threads that i've won at Jackie's blog contest. Thank you, thank you so much, Jackie.

And this lovely card, a very nice surprise from Gerda upon returning a chart she've borrowed a while back. Looking at it...sure miss making cards!


I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all who come and visit my blog. All your comment are very special to me.

I always love seeing the fields of flowers. Last weekend I had a small crystal glass full of white tulips. Fresh flowers are always so beautiful. I can't imagine a whole entire field of them!

Nice gifts from Jackie and Gerda and I love those little CC mittens--I've done two, but still haven't finished them. Are you going to make them into a mitten shape?
