A weekend of Bees

Yesterday I spent a fabulous day in London with Di: a fellow Hipbee and Bee a brit stingy bee. The weather was perfect for us too - blue skies, sunny and cold
We went to the V and A with a view to amble around.  We ended up in a jewellery exhibition: not just any jewellery - cartier diamonds, faberge creations, earrings from 400 BC..... it was serious bling.  There were enough diamonds, jades, sapphires etc there to wipe out world poverty several times.  It really was amazing
We spent to the rest of the day chatting over coffees, lunch, teas before heading home about 5ish.  Perfect. And look what Di made for me too

Today has been all about catching up on Bee commitments. I'm not behind, but there are a few extras to do.  I cut everything out before I started

I had six blocks to do for three different bees:
The first block is this months bee blessed block, followed by two blocks for Emily for the Bee a brit stingy group.  Both of these blocks were very similar.  Next was another project for Bee a brit stingy, but not my story to tell.......


So, I think 5 out of 6 isn't bad for the day (with housework, washing and shopping thrown in too)  The last block is Di's for Hipbees.  Its all cut out ready to go so it won't take long

    Oh so jealous of your day out with DI. How could you two do it without me?! Just kidding, I will get to see you both in July of course, and I'm so pleased you got to have some fun together. Your blocks are all gorgeous - these study free weekends seem to agree with you, my friend!
