A happy weekend for me.


Last weekend I went in one of these....................................


to visit with someone special..........................



My Granddaughter! So wonderful to have time with her. She was keen to finish her stitchery she started months ago. Granny suggested when it was finished I could make it into a cushion or a bag. The wee fairy said: " a bag please granny!" So that's on my 'do-very-soon' list.
The weather was cold, very cold, windy, raining and hailing, but that didn't stop us having fun! We coloured in, created with play dough (which of course I had to 'sample' the things made to look like food.......thank goodness the wee Fairy is happy when granny pretends!), played shops and headed out for a play at Mcdonalds play ground, thankfully it is under cover.
While out and about we did visit a lovely patchwork shop, owned and operated by Michele from her lovely old villa. Michele treated us so well, I love shops that make you feel welcome.


A lovely mix of fabrics but leaning towards country style, notions and kits and I loved this tea trolley brimming with china cups for quenching ones thirst!


The Fairy found heaven.............buttons! We had to have some of them for the bag!



You can find Michele's delightful shop 'Wildflower Creations' over at her Facebook page here.

On my way back to the airport I did stop to take these breath taking photo's.................................


See the peek of sun rising up to create a wee cap on the top of the mountain. Zero degrees outside!!
I few minutes up the road another stop.............................


Thanks for sharing my happy weekend. Back soon with quilt photo's, I have several finished and they have been placed in the arms of their owners.

    I have been to Michelles shop (twice now) & both her & the shop are just lovely arent they. I still miss that beautiful mountain even after 25 years away from it.
