Busy Day, Mini and OFW…

Oh No!!!!  It’s 11. 15 pm and I still haven’t done my post. Have had a busy day which started with this….

Brekky at the beach cafe for one of our bobbers..
Then home to do a load of washing before going to lunch and playing cards…. on the way home I went to visit a friend to drop of a ruler and have a cuppa….Must say retirement is tiring …… LOL….

Yesterday I received these lovely parcels from Tania…

This was Tania’s first ever swap and look at the beautiful Mini she has made.. Love it..  She also spoilt me with yummy chocolates and a sweet lavender bag…and the card even matched the Mini...

    The mini Tania has made for you is so pretty. She has certainly made you a lovely little quilt. I bet you're busier now more than ever Maria. Isn't that what all retired people say!

    Ahhh..I want your life! Brekkie and bobbing and visiting and beautiful swaps in the mail. It's been awhile since I'm made any flowers, and I think I'll try to get a couple made today, since I got off work early.

    You would have needed a lie down and a cuppa after that big day! Brekkie looks amazing.
