Yesterday was my birthday. Dan and I had spent the last few days in London as a joint birthday treat and we had a fantastic time. Highlights include... the London Dungeon. Birthday fabric treats from The Village Haberdashery, gluten free chili with sweet potato and cornbread from The Little House Kitchen Camden Market. Gosh brownie with ice-cream from Cookies and Scream Camden. Paella in Covent Garden. Pumpkin Spice Latte. Yo! Sushi (especially the chocolate mochi!) New New Rocks. New epic sock yarn.
Mostly food related, as always. I spent yesterday working away at the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery Autumn Sampler, with fresh coffee and a pumpkin spice candle to set the cozy mood. I also ventured out to the post depot to pick up a parcel, which turned out to be my Modern Irish Quilter's swap package from the lovely Sarah. She made me an absolutely perfect pincushion with hand pieced hexagons. The back has a beautiful linen print I've always loved but never owned a piece of. And she even include some lovely fabric scraps and gluten free chocolate. Perfect!
Belated happy birthday Jane! I celebrated mine in York last week with my daughter and Mum
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to you too Teresa :) I am super slow at replying right now, Trying to keep busy and not get distracted online too much.
DeleteAww happy slightly belated birthday!! Looks like a great day, wow that fabric! And the pincushion too!! I can't wait to start the Autumn Sampler, making myself catch up on Woodland & finish Halloween first ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I have just finished my very first month of Woodland Sampler. I think it will actually be a 2014 finish at this point. My Halloween sampler has stalled as the mouse has gone horribly wrong and needs unpicking. And I find unpicking cute but slightly wrong stitchy creatures really difficult to do.
