I've been lucky enough to recieve two blog awards in the last week or two, and I'd like to say thank you very much to the ladies who nominated me. I hope you don't mind though if I don't pass them on to named individuals, because I can never choose just a few blogs, I love so many, for so many different reasons. I'll just say if I read/comment on your blog consider yourself nominated.

Silk painting, Spring and ladybirds
I dyed a scarf in shades of gold, and made this panel. It started out as cherry blossom, but I think it toook a detour into hydrangea somewhere along the way.
I also made this more abstract one, I'm planning to use it as a background and embroider over it. At first I thought beach and sea, but now I'm seeing more dry stone wall in the foreground with fields behind. What do you think?![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRT5Sj10HW1aG_1LHUPM5c8cqgAmzDGiqvGpdJQFjNga95dBKqjww9pcWoiRoRx7AgTxAKiEU_zA6co-y_sChyphenhyphenJlhQWX_8fcZm-xrrYil3NaUuggrq8Fs2BfcnykmDfjlMiSV8t-yOjint/s320/silk2.JPG)
I had a lovely piece of post during the week, when I recieved this beautiful ladybird fob from Mylene. Isn't it just stunning? And yes, the daffs are in the garden

Mothers Day, More Stash and a Sneak Preview
Happy Mother's Day! Hope all the Mums out there are being spoiled rotten. The girls got me these lovely flowers. The slighly odd looking one is a bath ballistic from Lush, it smells all delicious and citrussy and the paper label tied to it is impregnated with wildflower seeds so I can plant it in the garden, and use the stick to mark where I put them. How perfect is that? Got to love Lush (and the girls).![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin12Ke5lGPJ8Q59Vr6Bsa2gWusCM8eWt_TW1JmjENA3Y_UygD6xej_A_8HJlbAwyDVgvbJE-Oq-YLo-lo_4UoIlXFC5A5C-a_T8hLURm93CxeeKkM-MR39IFHCeTHuRZ7y1c5x8Nf0GvfR/s320/mumflowers.JPG)

The halo slipped a bit last week and I shamelessly bought this new stash (I have precisely NO will power, its official), left to right: Blackbird Designs - Snow Garden, With thy Needle and Thread - Miss Lapin and Just Nan - Needle Tweets. Well, I can call the rabbit and bird ones my Easter Egg...
And finally a little preview of a new design I just finished stitching. This is one corner of the sampler, now I need to come up with some "smalls" to go with it
