Sweet Valentine

 We will be having some sweet treats here this weekend.......celebrating a little, partly because it's so close to Valentine's Day..... and partly because tomorrow is the anniversary of the day that Mr P and i first met ( a gazzillion years ago) at a schoolfriend's party.................
...........so reason enough to bake and decorate some pretty cakes to share with my dearies...........
 .......and time to use this sweet cake bunting which was made by the lovely Jooles at Sew Sweet Violet here....
....i love all the things that Jooles makes, they are so perfect and pretty....romantic, stylish and contemporary...
 ......love this little sign too.....i will be using this bunting for other special occasions besides Valentine's Day...
........a new romantic chopping board...too pretty to put to use in the kitchen just yet, so i am enjoying just looking at it in my sewing room for now........the sun has been shining in through the sewing room windows this week and making all the fabrics look so bright and cheery....even though the temperatures have been very low and my clothes layering is back in full force.......
            ......i had to show you this Farmer's Wife quilt block today because it's called Bouquet.....
.......and some little valentine tags, as part of my small tag set begun in the last post........i'm looking forward to making more post mark-y things very soon.......
....thank you for dropping into my little bit of blogland today, it's a real treat to see you....I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, with sunshine and sweet things coming your way......back soon xxxxxxxxxxx

Roses Are Red

 Roses are red...violets are blue....there are two winners....and one might be you!! (If you entered my Sweet Hearts giveaway last week that is!) But first of all I want to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day!
I won't keep you wondering any longer... Last night we put all of the giveaway entries names in a hat (well, a blue spotty bowl actually) - and two names were drawn out....and the winners are:
                                                  Robin of My Nest of Yarn and Buttons 
 Congratulations to both of you!! If you would like to email me your postal addresses I'll send your dotty hearts to you asap. (My email address is on the side bar there.) ThAnK yOu to everyone who entered my giveaway - it was lovely to have so many people leave a comment to win and I found some lovely new blogs too. I wish I could send a heart to all of you! But never mind if you didn't win this time, as I'm planning to do another giveaway soon - it was fun!
I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day, whether you're a true romantic or more of a funny valentine person I hope your day is filled with sunshine, happiness and flowers and maybe a few chocolate-y treats too. Back soon xxx
