Hope you have had a good weekend & your week has started off well. I had a lovely weekend which started with a wonderful birthday tea prepared by Hannah. Our 13 year old was in charge of photos, so he took lots of this:
Its a patchwork pincushion cake - isn't it incredible?I love the buttons...
Underneath it was the most gorgeous carrot cake (which sadly didn't last too long!) Thanks so much to the super-talented Ben from Contemporary Cakes
On Saturday I managed to squeeze in a wee bit of sewing for that crazy mouthy stitches lot! I really want to make something special for my partner, so I came up with this as a first attempt...
I love curved pouches & my partner said they would like a flat-bottomed one - so I'm hoping she will like this design....I just had enough time on Sunday to finish this wee house before we went off to some lovely friends for lunch
They always make us feel so welcome.... so hopefully this wee gift is an appropriate way to say thankyou ML & A for a very special friendship
Hope you have a great day!
Take care
Karen
Happy birthday! Your pouch looks lovely, the red zip is great. Have you seen the free dumpling pouch tutorial at Keyka Lou or is that what you're using?
