No Fuss swap and EPP link up

I had a slow start to the day today, it was cold and much more fun to stay in bed reading and drinking a cuppa!! But all good things have to come to an end, and I remembered there was something much more exciting awaiting my attention!! Yes it was opening day for the Kitchen Kapers, No Fuss swap.

the interesting parcel

and the contents....lovely t towel, bunny biscuit cutter, spatula like I haven't  seen before, how pretty it that!!

and my most favourite in the world biscuit!!! Thank you very much Helen my wonderful swap partner, I love it all!!! Mmmmmm, off to eat the cookie now!!

Now to dust off the crumbs and continue!Lol!!

Today is also link up time over at Anthea's where we see what EPP people have been up to...

luckily last nigth I joined a strip of hexie flowers together and now they are going to be joined onto the hexie quilt

I am thinking of doing this row and one other and that might be nearly the end of these. Then to finish it off.

Last night I also finished the last KOGO blanket,they are all packed in their box and ready to go in the mail.

It feels good to have these finished.

I am off to the Post Office now, I hope everyone is having a great day.

Happy sewing.

No Fuss Tin Swap

I participated in the no fuss tin swap this month...I sent a tin to ....Julz......a parcel turned up on the one day I came home from the hospital to see everything was ok. Very good timing that was as it was sitting on the front door mat!
I forgot to take a photo for the beautifully wrapped tin, it was very hard not to open it right away!! My tin came from Teresa...and a beautiful tin it was too...

how pretty is that!

and look at what Teresa fitted in the tin! Lots of beautiful goodies...thank you very  much Teresa, I love it all.

Thank you too to the lovely organising ladies at No Fuss Swappers.

So we are now home from the hospital, hubby still needs recovery time and we have weekly visits to the Neuro Dr, we had a walk along the pier yesterday in the wind!!!

birds at the end of the Pier..

and out on the pylons

and keeping a little, out of the wind on the beach!

Right off to help hubby write a letter now!! And maybe I might even get to do some sewing and read some blogs, something I have missed!!

Happy sewing.
