An April Update.

Mary Hurst from The Scarlet Letter

Mary is growing each week and new stitches are being learnt. She is going to be a long sampler but I have the perfect spot waiting for her to be hung.

I have just reached this point.

My sampler Martha Allis is currently being reproduced by The Scarlet Letter and I have been busy researching Martha's history on the internet and at the Record Office and what a fascinating one it is too.

We have been very busy the last few weeks and our social activities have included a trip to the theatre to see Blood Brothers. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The weather has been wonderful at Poldhu Cove and we have already seen temperatures into the twenties at Trewoon.

Poppy has been sunbathing !!!! 

Blue has not been himself and our wonderful Vet has been doing some tests. I wonder if he is feeling his age, it is hard work following his Mummy around all day no matter what she is doing.

We enjoyed the Masters last weekend and although there were no green jackets to be won at Mullion Golf Club Ray and his team won their competition this week. 

We received a lovely surprise is week - a photograph of Trewoon taken from a drone, whatever next !!!

Today we woke to another glorious spring day with a beautiful blue sky.

Our walk today was inland and who could resist walking a blossom lined footpath 

which leads to a series of lush green fields.

 where Poppy and Blue can enjoy running off their leads.

They were ready for some shade when we got back home but Blue was still working looking after his Mummy as those naughty seagulls are on the roof again !!!!

Don't Look Now

I am so excited, the framers have just telephoned as I sat down to write my post and A Dutch Beauty is ready. Woo hoooooooo !!!!

Will post some photos tomorrow hopefully of it hanging on the wall.

I thought that I would share with you a Flower Garden Pillow Tutorial that I came across in the summer. Kellie of Don't Look Now has designed some gorgeous quilts that are so bright and pretty.

It was a perfect project to use up some very small scraps of fabric that I had. They were so small that I couldn't think of anything else to use them for. I even used an old bed sheet for the background fabric

Blue had to get in on the act as well

We woke this morning to winter sunshine but as the day has gone on you can feel that there is a big storm coming. I hope that there will not be too much damage. All the hatches are battened down.

You can see the storm clouds gathering.

We didn't make it out for a walk yesterday so Poppy, Blue and our visitor Abbie had to make do with ball games in our garden.

We keep a section of the garden semi wild and this provides a home for badgers , foxes, rabbits, stoats and lots of different birds.   

This also provides a home for the birds that live here. We so enjoy the birds singing in the garden.

We have three badgers who visit us every night for peanuts. They come right up to the french doors to feed, it is fascinating to watch them. This is the little one.

I think that I will now settle down for some stitching on And They Sinned.
