A very lucky girl

It was my birthday over the weekend and I was lucky enough to receive some very lovely pink and crafty gifts...

Love these pretty buttons from my mum and dad. I think my family know me pretty well...

A lovely handmade card from Miss M. Note how she has discreetly included my age on the front...!

We have a nice little birthday tradition in this house where you choose which kind of cake you would like for your birthday. This cake is called fantasy cake and is from Lisa Faulkner's book Recipes from my Mother for my Daughter. G and Miss M made it for me and it was so delicious, kind of like a strawberry bakewell... So, I am another year older but I don't mind, I had a lovely birthday and was made to feel special by my lovely little family.

Thank you so much for the lovely kind comments about my cross stitch, I really do appreciate them so much. Also, welcome to my new readers and followers. Back soon with another finished make - I am on a roll with finishing off the WIPs these past couple of weeks...!
