Please, Ladies, let me dedicate this blog entry to my sweet hubby ... { I miss you, my love, please come back soon }I know that I'm even more productive during chaos ... of course my life is not chaos right now ! It's not because both boys are home with me that it's chaos, but well, let's say it's noisy & cheerful ! LOL So, yesterday, I was hit by the idea of updating the linzer hearts I had made last year, at approx. the same period. (January, I mean) These last were stuffed with polyfill, but these new ones aren't. They are flat like real linzer biscuits, and are machine sewn, instead of hand embroidered. Don't be fooled, there is absolutely NO sun today, but the small bouquet (5 stems) of pink gerberas I got this morning, the glass cake stand & white table runner, helped me getting nice photos, don't you think ? The set of 6 felt biscuits is in the shop.
The funny part is that my boys got to get the "rejected" ones, the ones that didn't make the final check ! So they have a whole set of 6 of their own too, eheh !! :DI'll be short today, but wanted to show you the wonderful parcel I received today from the wonderful Christy of Sweet Tidings ... I had won one of her great giveaways earlier this month, and she included a superb, gorgeous pink quartz keyring with the sublime brooch I had won, wow. I'm a very lucky girl ! :D Thanks so much for your generosity, Christy, I feel so spoiled !! xoxo

OK, off to hang a load of laundry to dry, and then I'll give the boys a snack. :) I hope you're all having a nice middle of the week, my friends !! xoxox
