Daffodils, A Birthday and Cross Stitch

My husband and I were both under the weather earlier this week so that negatively affected how much sewing I got done this week.  Hopefully, I can make up for it next week!  I did manage to add some blue and brown to my cross stitch project.  The brown part will be a windmill, eventually!  


Finn received this Lambie toy for Christmas and, recently,  almost removed Lambie's reindeer antlers.  I sewed them back on by machine with a mending stitch, which was distressing to Finn and he barked at me as I sewed. He was happy to have Lambie back to play with. 

 

I started to sew a little folk all doll for a little friend who celebrated her 5th birthday this past week.  It will be a belated gift!  



My hellebore flower opened and these mini daffodils put on a show this week. 



By next weekend, I should have some primroses in bloom. 


I started a new book--I had read lots of positive reviews and the book is living up to the hype.  I have added this one to the list for the book club that I lead for next year. It is an epistolary novel, written in letters. 


Today is Finn's 8th Birthday!  Our daughter bought him a volcano toy with 6 little squeaky dinosaurs that hide inside.  Finn very enthusiastically took all the Dinosaurs out of the holes and had a great time making them all squeak.  The gift got a 10/10 from Finn!



Finn's face looks a bit squished here...  LOL!  The dinosaurs did not stay in a neat row for very long!


I will link up with Kathy and Frederique.
