Today's my birthday - am now closer to 50 than 40 ... not sure how I feel about that! I've had a lovely day - Mutter (my Mum) is staying with us for a week, looking after me. Am still in a lot of pain and not sleeping too well but it'll get better soon, I'm sure.
And in the meantime, I get to enjoy all my lovely presents!
Two of my team came for a visit and we had Afternoon Tea and they brought me a gorgeous 'get well and come back to work soon' pink hand bag and flowers:
My niece bought me some fat quarters last week as a thank you for a quilt / playmat I had made for her fiance's neice:
And I had a couple of surprise gifts too. From the lovely Shauna - all the way from Canada, a quilting magazine and get well card:
And from Maja - all the way from Sweden, the prettiest little triangle bag, full of sewing gifts:
I am a lucky lady - thank you everyone xx
Linking up with the lovely Lorna:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy all your new goodies!!!
