A lovely weekend away...

 Last Saturday saw my sister Anne & I heading to Shez's house for a girls weekend and let me just say we had a blast!

 Look what was waiting for me when I arrived....totally spoilt and pampered! !
 it wouldnt be a proper blog post if I didn't have at least one photo of Shez taking a photo of her meal lol.....this was in Maldon.
 Not to forget Anne also being utterly spoilt by Shez as well with her goody bag 😊
 Nacho's for me ....not much in the way of leftovers from me.....especially the cheese!
 Anne's burger and salad, beautifully presented....
 Anne & I both had a good laugh at Shez attempting to grate a hard boiled egg, which caused Shez to also lose it and start laughing lol.
Me scrapping the curried egg bowl and trying not to laugh....I do love a curried egg sandwich which we had for lunch.
Will do another post soon with more pictures of our weekend away, there's too many to put in just one post 😊

What I've been up to.....

 Finally finished another baby blanket.....so pretty with all the different pink tones....
I've also been slowly working on my new sewing space....I've decided this cupboard would work well as a space to display some of my quilts and crocheted blankets....the room is slowly getting there but I'm not in a hurry as I want to enjoy the process and really think about what I want in my room and how I want to display stuff that makes the cut 😀
