St Valentine's Day and stitching little things .

 

 I,ve been busy stitching little things this week , a thankyou card for Alison ,for my beautiful "Give away " gifts .  A lady's sewing roll or husif for my Sister and a very special Valentine's Day card  for my sweetheart husband ( who is in the other room watching "Friends" right now lol !)....I try to make him one every year ...there are years when I,ve just been run off my feet with babies or teenagers or illness and I,ve missed those years , but I have a little pile of Valentine's Day cards that I,ve made , in the pocket at the back of our Wedding Photograph Album ...they do bring back happy memories especially the ones where I,ve stuck little photographs of us as boy and girlfriend , or as just engaged sweethearts ... even little poems I,ve written and stuck inside !
 We usually go on a picnic  and I set him the challenge to pick me a little posie of any flowers that he can find in our garden or hedgerow .
 These simple things mean so much to me .

By the way , for those of us who do church , it also Ash Wednesday and the first day of Lent ....

.. which also means that it is Shrove Tuesday tomorrow ...Pancakes !  Yippee ! :)
