Having a "me" day

One needs to have "me" day every so often especially when the calendar turns over another year so hubs  helped me celebrate the day with a champagne breakfast.   Being such a lovely warm morning breakfast was moved outside to enjoy the garden that is just blooming beautifully.   

Normally we celebrate our birthdays with a lunch at our favourite seafood restaurant but there was a fire there 6 months ago and it is still under renovation so I took matters into my own hands and cooked a seafood lunch consisting of salmon fillet, roasted sweet potato and broccoli with cheese sauce. 

This was followed by my favourite fruits of strawberries and blueberries topped with Greek yogurt. 

 

Needless to say after a big breakfast and a late lunch there will be very little dinner tonight.  

What better way to spend the day than in my sewing room having a play around with fabric.    I am investigating "landscape" quilts and not  being the least bit artistic I am needing all the help and hints that I can get therefore lots of you-tube videos on how to go about creating one have been looked at over the last few weeks.   Today bought me closer to a start with grabbing all these fabrics.

The fabrics are laid out in no particular order but they have been divided into a mountain scene and a beach scene.   Not sure which one I will do - maybe both - and the fabrics below were discarded as options although I am undecided about a couple of them.

No actual sewing happened but I did enjoy my day playing around in the sewing room, starting another Nicole Alexander book, relaxing, eating and receiving good wishes from family and friends via the phone, emails and texts.  

Now you can head on over to Cheryll's blog to see what other more productive crafters achieved last night for FNwF.    

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
