I had a lovely birthday 🙂 Thanks to all who sent me wishes in comments or emails 🙂 I am so blessed to have special family and friends.

I started the day off with brecky in bed 🙂 Elizabeth made me a soft boiled egg and a “beschuit” which is a typical Dutch thing…oh so yummy with butter and sugar on it 🙂 And of course a lovley cup of tea. I had some cards and presents on a tray in bed too, a gorgeous necklace from my sister, a water color painting of the kitten from Elizabeth, and a Spotlight gift voucher from all of them!

After brecky I went to meet a dear friend at Gail’s. We moseyed around there for quite a while before heading off for a coffee. Here is what I bought from my birthday money:

The above is not a jelly roll, but thinner… forgot what it was called. Since I already have a jelly roll sitting on the shelf from my last birthday, I decided to buy this book:

And I also saw this cute stitchery pattern for a sort of pouch which I thought would be nice to put in stitcheries that I am working on at the moment:

After we had our cuppa, we came home and did some sewing. I kept going on my applique and practice pieces. I really enjoyed doing that while my friend worked on some embroidery projects and piecing.

For dinner we had a bbq and Elizabeth had made this cake for me 🙂

A lovely day, with wonderful family and friends. I am truly blessed.
