Birthday gifts sent…..OPAM for April

I’ve been busy making secret birthday gifts for a couple of friends but couldn’t show them till now, this Cottage garden thread holder I made for Cheryl using French General fabrics. Cheryl’s birthday is the day before mine so I stitched this up in March but couldn’t put it in my totals for OPAM as I didn’t want to spoil the surprise

Here is the inside which I filled with cherry ripes and Cottage Garden threads, it was a very special birthday for Cheryl this year and as such she needed something extra special!

Another secret gift I was working on in March was for Ondrea whose birthday falls the day after mine, so a busy month leading up to my birthday LOL. Ondrea’s favourite colour is purple so I made her an assortment of doilies in purple and included a pretty purple Cottage Garden thread to add to her stash as well as a block of yummy dark chocolate…..so two OPAM finishes which will be added to my side bar for this months OPAM finish list

I’ve had a pretty full week the past week ending with me not feeling too well for most of it and culminating in being decidedly off on Sunday so I’ll apologise to all who have left comments in my previous posts as I just haven’t been well enough to reply or do much of anything this past week and hope you can forgive me I’ll try and do another blog post soon time permitting.
