I've realised it's been a month again since I was last here, but that's improving on my last appearance! Thank you for my welcome back last time though! Just popping on quick to show you my latest make, which was inspired by the saying "Friends are like stars, you don't need to see them to know they are there". Except with less stitching.... it's only a mini cushion! It's for someone I miss a lot and I hope they will like it :)
Yesterday I had a proper girly day and washed all the china off the dresser and gave the whole thing a good clean. It was actually quite a satisfying job and I was inspired to do the rest of the dining room as well afterwards. I love how all this rosey china looks together.
The dresser is now devoid of random paperwork/ hairbands/ badges/ small toys etc etc. Let's hope it stays that way for a while!!! Apologies for the drunken angle.
The cast on my ankle came off a couple of weeks ago and I'm getting used to walking about on two legs again. It still hurts, it swells up when I walk about too much and the scars aren't nice but I really appreciate not having to use crutches any more! I've got to have two screws taken out of it at the end of the month sometime and a follow up appointment in June and then that's it hopefully.
Right I'd better go and spend some time with my brother, who is watching Doctors in my living room on his own at the moment. Take care all xxx

What a pretty dresser.
Looking at your collection of rose plates piled up made me feel very nervous. Last week i broke a set of vintage cake plates that i piled up on my kitchen shelf , as i was admiring them one of my heavy cook books slipped and knocked my plates smashing them into tiny pieces all over the floor- they were my favourite set too.
What a fabulous pretty dresser you have xx My dresser has the hairdryer on it (thank to my daughter!) Easter decs still to put away and a whole lots of rubbish that i'm sure must have homes to go to!!!!!
You have inspired me today to clean and tidy it :-)
Right....i've got 1/2 hour before i've got to pick the children up so i'm going to start now........!
Your dresser is to die for! Absolute gorgeous!

I too find it quite a satisfying job to clean off a cupboard or shelf and wash al the things then rearranging them. It's so nice to see it all fresh and bright!
The dresser looks great, isn't it funny how they can attract bits and pieces from thr children, just looking across at mine and noticed some small model soldiers in mid battle!!!!!
Ahh - thanks for popping over to Appletree!!!! Poppy's palace has never been that tidy since!!!! Love the cushion you made - and such a lovely thought behind it!!!
Good to hear from you
