Me? I'm not stressed!

   I had a birthday over the weekend (as well as my mums 70th!): look at these lovely sewing gifts

 I have needed a new cutting board for so long!  My previous one was only 12" x 20" - rather challenging for cutting on sometimes.  And some basting spray to have a go with
 Some lovely fat quarters
and these lovely fabrics and some variagated thread to play with too.  I was a very lucky person and can't wait to have a go!  However, I will have to wait as everything is about to be put away to make more room for the weekend :-(

I appear to be suffering from headless chicken syndrome.  I have so many things that I need to do!
Its Jennys 18th on Thursday and I am cooking for 7, with a homemade birthday cake.  On Friday my brother and his family are coming down and I will be cooking for 10 that evening.  On Saturday I have aprox 30 people arriving about 2ish to further celebrate the birthday!  I am so looking forward to catching up with family and old friends that I havn;t seen in ages, but I have soooo much to do.  I don't think I have looked at a blog since friday!!  So tonight, I am going to try and get to bed a bit earlier and do some blog reading catching up!

    I'd love a new cutting board, mine's an inch narrower than a folded piece of fabric which is really annoying! Happy birthday and good luck for the busy weekend!

    Hey Catherine. Happy birthday for the other day. Welcome to my blog. I've been working on some details today. (had to take the day off work from fever)

    I've got plans to visit tip tree never been but have only lived her for 2 years so that's my excuse. All my students talk about the cheap shop, that's my first port of call if I ever make it. Xxx
