First thing a significant birthday at beginning of June. This quilt themed cake was nearly too nice to eat...I said nearly.... it was delicious.
from this rascal....Amber.
Then a lovely wedding, where the bride made all the floral arrangements, even her bouquets. Look closely, not a fresh flower in sight.
Then another birthday in July. GS has eyes only for the chocolate cake. It is his mum's 39th. Have I really made her 39 chocolate cakes..............oooooh!!Well, June and July have been busy. With birthdays and sunshine days away, not much stitching done.
We spent a few days at the north coast last weekend. The weather was glorious. I even braved travelling in a boat to Rathlin Island. Not a lover of boats, but it was a great trip.

This morning my 2nd D and I had a good walk along the old Newry canal towpath. It was a beautiful morning. There was masses of this plant along the canal. It looks like a wild orchid. The canal is only used by canoeists and fishermen now. Once it was a busy trade route.
I have done some stitching. ALQS6 is on the go. A little glimpse.......
Happy belated birthday. What an adorable cake!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have been busy celebrating birthdays all summer.
Love the start on your ALQS6. I need to get mine moving too.
You had a very busy summer indeed, but a very happy one it seems. Congratulations belatedly to your "significant" birthday (what a lovely cake, by the way).

PS: I started my ALQS 6 yesterday too, but I'm not as far as you are.
