This weekend I have:
- had Sat morning brunch with DH
- been totally relaxed by having a facial and a pedicure (courtesy of DD and DS#2 - Mother's Day present)
- celebrated a good friend's birthday with pizza and beer,
- gone for my Sunday walk around Princes Park with my dear friend, Marie
- made yummy Scones and Pea and Ham soup
- bought three cross stitch magazines
- done some stitching whilst watching episodes of Downton Abbey
- lastly, done a Happy Dance as I finished a sweet little butterfly for a notebook cover - which was a freebie in Cross Stitch Crazy, here is a pic of it.
Have a good week, everyone,
bye for now,

@ Cucki, thank you - I have never seen nests like that - I would be very interested in knowing about the birds.
Thx also for the compliment.
@ Allie - yes, they were absolute bliss.

Very nice Kaye. I love the butterfly. It sounds like you've had a lovely day!!
Sounds like a great weekend :)
I have that little notebook too! Haven't got around to stitching my butterfly. Can't figure out how I am meant to mount it into the book.
Love the colours of your butterfly, very pretty :)
Yes, it was a lovely weekend, thank you Julie and Bec.
I used the Cottage Garden variegated threads which I have in my stash (I am using them on Mary Wigham) - they made it a really quick stitch up.
The instructions for mounting the butterfly are in the mag, on p. 6, I think.
The butterfly is very cute! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend, Kaye!
Love your adorable butterfly! And what an idyllic weekend you had! Congrats!
Hi Debbie and Southpaw, Yes, it was a good weekend.I have been under so much stress with work and looking after DFIL (who lives with us and is getting crankier and more difficult every week) that I try to make sure that the weekend becomes a time to recharge for the week ahead.
hugs, Kaye xoxox

Oh, thanks Gill, I like them but I wasn't sure if other people would find them annoying or not.
