 all ready to go!

 being presented with her partner James

during one of the dances...

they did really well...

manmade

woman made will have to do today!

my Mum embroidered this beautiful tablecloth for me many years ago...

I received it in the post, had no idea what was in it...

she had seen the design and knew that I loved blue wrens, so did it for me as a surprise...

I don't use it very often as it is a treasured piece, as Mum is no longer with us...

I admire her beautiful stitching, so neat...the back is almost as good as the front!

I think this is probably where I get my passion for stitching from...

thank you Mum!

underneath

the pile of C%$P in this basket, there are maybe some UFOs that need finishing?

this month has past quickly again...
and Spring has begun...
I don't think I will do the September photo a day....
but will try to keep to regular postings...
I have thoroughly enjoyed the photo a day hosted by Fatmumslim....
it's been a challenge at times to think of something to fit the theme of the day...
