Tilda swap

 A little while ago I did a tilda swap with a new blogger friend Nancy. Nancy left a comment on one of tilda posts and we discovered we both loved tilda products so a swap was in order. I was very lucky to receive this beautiful needlecase full of goodies.
 So beautifully made and so cute.

 Thankyou Nancy, I love my tilda gift.
 I made Nancy a little bag and she tells me it fits her ipad so she can use it for whatever she likes.
 It was a great project to make and tilda fabric is so pretty. It can make any project look extra special.
 Just outside our back door we have a climbing rose and in the middle is this bundle of joy, 4 baby black birds. Only born 2 days ago. They were sound asleep and when my camera went in the bush and gently shook the nest the babies sat up and their beaks were wide open, I guess they thought I was mama bringing them food.  Dear little things.
I picked a fresh bunch of roses today and they are so pretty, the pink rose is Jane McGrath. Its gorgeous and my favourite.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I have a few finishing touches to add to some christmas gifts. I hope you find some sewing time.

I love my stitching bag. I am a very lucky girl!
These photos are wonderful, especially the little birds. It's nice to see Spring -- as we are facing the four grey months of winter -- it's a nice reminder! Cheers, Leanne!
