Chicken Family and another award


DEAR FRIENDS & READERS,

HAPPY EASTER!



I've mentioned in a previous post I was waiting for 2 parcels from the US, both of them consisting of fabrics to finish 'Alouette's Quilt'. I read somewhere parcels from the US may take as long as up to 12 weeks international due to customs. I ordered the fabrics almost at the same day; one parcel arrived after 6 weeks - the other one after 7 weeks! Needless to say I was desperate, because I feared the parcels had gone astray. I got the second parcel on Saturday and intended to work on the quilt during the weekend. The only thing I did was to measure the backing and then I felt puffed. I have to add two pieces for the backing, perhaps I'll do it today - I don't think I feel for any garden work today...

Instead of finishing the quilt as I intended, I made the chicken family! Easter and all - I needed some decoration. Aren't they cute?! The pattern is from talented Stella Whittingham - visit her blog here. She has some free patterns too.
Look who's on the top right side corner of the photo?! I wonder what he was thinking when he saw the chickens..... :))

I received this lovely award from Sharon at Live Your Style. Take a look at her blog - amazing photos of Mauritius! Visit her other creative blog too; L'Atelier.
I'm feeling very honored!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH SHARON!!!
