I started the day off with brecky in bed :) Elizabeth made me a soft boiled egg and a "beschuit" which is a typical Dutch thing...oh so yummy with butter and sugar on it :) And of course a lovley cup of tea. I had some cards and presents on a tray in bed too, a gorgeous necklace from my sister, a water color painting of the kitten from Elizabeth, and a Spotlight gift voucher from all of them!
After brecky I went to meet a dear friend at Gail's. We moseyed around there for quite a while before heading off for a coffee. Here is what I bought from my birthday money:
The above is not a jelly roll, but thinner... forgot what it was called. Since I already have a jelly roll sitting on the shelf from my last birthday, I decided to buy this book:
And I also saw this cute stitchery pattern for a sort of pouch which I thought would be nice to put in stitcheries that I am working on at the moment:
After we had our cuppa, we came home and did some sewing. I kept going on my applique and practice pieces. I really enjoyed doing that while my friend worked on some embroidery projects and piecing.
For dinner we had a bbq and Elizabeth had made this cake for me :)
A lovely day, with wonderful family and friends. I am truly blessed.

Thinner jelly rolls are called honey buns. How do I know? I had to buy two for my Tail Feathers quilt!!!
Glad you had such a lovely day.
Ah, thanks Tracy! I remember now... goodness me, it is all so confusing!
Happy Happy Birthday to you (a little late) How did I miss that?
