Sew Wot Tuesday

 Oh dear, I went to this Sew Wots this week and forgot to take my camera and notebook with me.  Guess it's because I rushed out the door in a hurry.  Luckily Heather and Carol sent me a couple of photos later.  So there are no photos of Show and Tell this time.  I'll try and do better next time.  A shame as there were several knitted items, a pretty quilt, plus I had taken my two new oven mitts I had made for my granddaughter Megan to show.  These are now in the post winging their way to her.

This was a special day as Sandra was celebrating her 70th birthday.  And what a lot of lovely gifts she opening up.  All sorts of surprises were unwrapped, from hand lotion, wool, quilting fabric and a gift card for her to buy something special with.

Sandra's sister Darla had come  over from Australia to spend a couple of weeks with Sandra, so she was warmly welcomed too.  And as we found out, Darla and Helen were in the same classroom as little girls at school for a couple of years.

Carol had made a scummy morning tea, plus there was a cream sponge with candles especially for the birthday girl.

Many thanks to Carol for  being the hostess - she even had put a few balloons up for the birthday celebrations.  We all had such a lovely morning, and it was so nice to share in Sandra's special day.

What a lovely way for Sandra to celebrate her special day. Not only with the Sew Wot girls but also with her sister.
A great group photo for her to remember.
