My week started with a lovely thoughtful card from a very dear high school friend
Then cupcakes were in order...
because my baby girl turned one!
I decided to write some little memories of her at this stage because I'm not great at filling in those baby books.
And she brewed us all some tea:
This week I've cut all my S is for Stitch
embroidery blocks and cut some Kona jelly roll strips to start piecing them together
embroidery blocks and cut some Kona jelly roll strips to start piecing them together
and it just so happens to coordinate perfectly with the backing fabric I'd picked out, if I have enough I may well use this for binding too
This week I also took a little quiz and discovered I should be living in Portland:
Go and see what city you should actually live in and come back and let me know!

hehe, Yes! Come visit Portland anytime and we'll go fabric shopping, drink loads of tea and skip along SE Portland Streets. But you must come during a quilt guild meeting :) Have a wonderful weekend Lucy!
Love the sweet card you gave to the birthday girl! I love the backing you have chosen for your stitchery quilt. I tried the City quiz but there were too many irrelevant questions for this old duck! Besides, I'm happy in Melbourne!
I want in on the Portland shopping trip if you ever visit. I will happily drive 5 hours for shopping :) I took the quiz and got London. Makes sense since I almost moved there when I was 19. But I am glad I stayed put and didn't drop out of college :)
Happy birthday Lois! I got London lol
I live 20 minutes from Portland but the quiz said I should go to Barcelona-Ha!
Are we talking Portland Oregon? I was there in May. Beautiful city. Happy day to your wee one. Can't believe it's been a year
Lovely Random! London baby yeah!
I got Portland too, which makes me very happy because it sounds perfect. Apart from the weather.
Oh I wish I had your lovely handwriting! I got London, didn't expect that because I don't plan to stick around in this country too much longer lol
I got Portland too! I wouldn't mind a holiday there, think of all the fabric shopping I could do! I wished I'd put notes like that in the childrens cards, by the time I had no3 I don't know which child did which and at what age!!!!
I cannot believe she is so grown up already!
I got Paris - happy me!
I got Portland too, and I don't even drink coffee! Happy birthday to your baby.
You wee girl is just so cute. Don't leave home too soon for Portland as you are really a Brit!

Can't wait to see your embroidery coming together, I am just stitching down the binding on mine, my most favourite part of the whole process :o)
I got Portland too - but I wouldn't like to move all that way and still get rain! Happy birthday Lois :-)
I got London! I have never been but would love to go! Happy birthday to your sweet little girl!
I got Portland, too! :)
Happy birthday Lois! She is so adorable. I got Tokyo?! But who will I hang out with, if everyone else is in Portland??
Ha! I got Barcelona! Happy birthday, Lois! Loving those colours you picked out -- can't wait to see what you do with them, Lucy!
Yes, I got London too!
Happy birthday little Lois! Cutie!
Happy birthday, Lois!
P.S. Apparently I should live in Los Angeles but as I had to randomly pick at least half my answers because there wasn't a 'none of the above' or 'I don't know who any of these people are' option I'm not sure I believe it ;o)
Love the foxies, and that happy birthday card to Lois kills me. You're a darling mum!!! -Letty
I got Portland, but honestly I didn't understand half the answers!
I got Portland too. :)
I got London. No fuss, that's me. Cuppa tea at bed time, yep. Love how wrote the milestones in Lois' card. I kinda was bad at filling out milestones by the third one.
