Do well the little things now

Do well the little things now - Moira Blackburn

I have been a busy bee doing lots of little things over the last few days and going by my sampler I am now hoping that great things will come to me !!

I can't believe that it is twelve years ago that I stitched this little sampler. Where do the years go?

Fate has been against me spending a good chunk of time over the weekend on finishing ATS but I hope that it should be completed within the next four days.

Fate and destiny are funny things. On Thursday morning when I rang Sew and So they were doing a special order from the States for me on Ann Dale, that afternoon they had a delivery from their American suppliers and low and behold Ann Dale was included as a new design !!

They kitted her up for me and she is arriving this afternoon.

Lara kindly found a link to some photographs of the original Ann Dale. It is well worth having a look at Madelena.com.

It is the most beautiful spring day here and I could not resist a quick stroll around the garden before settling to my chores.

Blue was unable to resist a quick dive in the pond. It's a warm day but not that warm !! Brrrrrrrr

The bird chorus today is music to the ears. The beautiful weather has brought the birds out in force.

This Great ... (the word not to be mentioned) was busy watching me with the camera.

I love the Blue ...'s expression - he seems to be saying "these peanuts are all mine"

It is amazing how they hold onto the feeders.

This is a popular feeding station.

This male chaffinch is bold and doesn't seem fazed by me or Poppy and Blue.
