Modern Sampler Bee: Block for Nin

Nin had the most interesting colour choices for the Bee - but I loved how much I loved it once it all came together!


Have a fab day!

Modern Sampler Bee: My Block

I completed my block a couple of days ago - whoopee!  The hexie blocks idea came from the book Block Party.  A great little book with lots of how to's, explanations and inspiration.  Our blocks are 12.5"x12.5" and the hexagons are 2" and 4" in size.

Have a great week!

And another has arrived!  This one from the talented Nin.  I am starting to get seriously excited about putting all these blocks together!

Thanks Nin - I love it!

Modern Sampler Bee: In the mail

I have been meaning to put the lovely block Juliet whipped up for me, on display for almost a month now!
Isn't she a clever!? I love it! The first of the 6 blocks for our Modern Sampler Bee.

Have a good weekend!

Modern Sampler Bee: Block for Juliet

I was so happy to get my blocks in the mail to the other Bee participants last week.  Juliet has just revealed her one, and better yet - she likes it! :)

Told you I had fallen for hexies!  Initially I only completed the 5 blocks for the other bee members... but yesterday started working on mine.  Whoopee!

Happy Thursday everyone.

Book Review: The Odd Egg

The Odd Egg
Author: Emily Gravett
Dummy, Paperback, Hardback, US


Synopsis:
When Duck finds an egg of his own he's delighted: it's the most beautiful egg in the world! But all the other birds think it's a very odd egg indeed and everyone's in for a big surprise when the egg hatches. Children and adults alike will love the witty outcome and Emily Gravett's playful watercolour and pencil illustrations.

Last year I discovered Emily Gravett and I have fallen in love with her books.

This story is charming, sweet and we enjoy it immensely.  What's not to love about a duck looking after an egg about 10 times its size!  You know how it will end but the journey is fun every time.  Her illustrations are timeless.  We all love this book but it is probably better suited for children 2+.  A real treat.

Happy Reading

Thank you very much...

After Anya's birthday we sent out wee thank you cards to all who made her big day special.

They're simple but we liked them a lot!
