This morning we had hot cross buns and coffee for breakfast. A lovely way to start Easter day.
This was my Easter egg.
Then it was time to open my swap parcel from the lovely Marina in Lissy Lou's Vintage Easter Swap.
It was all wrapped in Sheet music how fab. ( I am ashamed to say I did not wrap mine)
I was so excited as I unwrapped it all.
There was so much, I am very spoilt as Marina was very generous.
Look what I got, A lovely Vintage tin, a violet teacup and saucer, a hand knitted chick, 3 little chicks, a glass milk jug, some lovely tea towels, a felt broach and a fantastic vintage tea strainer.
Now the tin is now holding my sewing bits and pieces, The milk jug is with my collection on the shelf, the chick is sitting in an egg cup, the teatowels are ready for use. Oh and I am eating the eggs....
We did some spring cleaning today. While LSP tackled the downstairs cupboard, I was able to turn my attention to the spare room. I have finally got the ladybird books in.
(sorry about the bizarre shadow)
look what came out.
I am finally making the Roman blind for the room.
I love sewing, I have not finished as my hands were getting sore.
but how lovely is the action of sitting and sewing.
I have put some bits and pieces on the bed. But the room is still not quite finished so I wont share it all yet.
Dinner tonight was lovely,
It was not very traditional but, it was lovely. Linguine,
butter, garlic, shallots, mushroom, spinach, prawns, mussel's. squid. with parmasan and black pepper.
Was delicious.
(even If I do say so myself.)
Altogether it has been a lovely day.
