My friendship quilt is finished at last !!!!

Hi to all my blogging friends out there. I just had to show you my finished quilt which has taken me over two years to hand stitch, which i can tell you has been very time consuming  and at times challenging especially as i have been doing a photography course at college as well. Although i say it myself i think i have done a good job and hopefully it will be an heirloom for the future.

 You must forgive the cabbage patch girls, but they just had to get into the shots.

A big hello from us in blogger land 

My Valentine Post

               Happy Valentine to all you  lovely bloggers !!!!
                              
                         
              Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased,
              nor is it etched on stone, for stone can be broken,
              but it is inscribed on the heart and there it shall remain,
                                       for  EVER ........

                           You and Me...........Me and You.........

Cherry's Heart xxxxx

                                        For Get Me Not.........

                  Fill your life with joy, your soul with sunshine                                                    and your HEART with LOVE 

                                                 x x x x x x

New additions to the Wilks house hold

 Hi everyone in blogger land I would like to introduce to you our six battery hens which my daughter and i picked up today from our local hen rescue centre. 
After a very muddy walk to the farm to collect them and a smelly ride home in the car we managed to settle the girls into their new home with no problems at all.
It wasn't long before they were enjoying the natural sunlight scrapping around in the dirt looking for anything interesting to eat which must be so different to being cooped up in a confined space with no natural light. 
I must say i was amazed by what good condition they were all in, i have had battery hens before and  they were in a very sorrowful state so it looks like Jamie Oliver's campaign for better hen welfare has paid off.
Here are the girls exploring their new surroundings.

Lets hope that these girls will live a long and happy life now they are free.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Hi everyone Christmas is almost here. Every thing is done and i am just waiting for the big day. As usual my Christmas Day will be fairly quiet with just be the three of us, my daughter, husband and of course me for Christmas lunch. Oh and not forgetting Florence and Tippy the cats and Ruby our little Jack Russell.

                     I wish all you lovely bloggers out there.

                                                                                                                     A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Hope to see you all in the new year and lets hope it will be a great one.........xx

My Fairy Swop

Hi to every one in blogger land hope you are all keeping well and enjoying this festive season. Its been a long time since i last did a post, but what with one thing and another my blogging seemed to be put on hold for a while.

 However last month i committed myself to make a fairy for Betty's fairy swap over at Betty The Wood Fairy blog.....who paired me up with Tracey from Mad about Bags blog.

We met up yesterday and after a nice long chat with a cup of and a piece of cake we swapped our fairies. It was a bit of a tense moment  for both of us especially as we swapped then in person, wandering whether we liked each others fairy or not. I was not disappointed with my swap it was truly lovely. 
Tracey also gave me a hand crafted Christmas card.... Such kindness!!!!

Tracey found out i liked gardening so made mine with a gardening theme. 
As Tracey only lives just down the road from me so it was lovely to meet her in person. We are hoping to keep in touch in the future.

Here she is my lovely fairy with so much love and hard work put into her by Tracey. My fairy reminds me of a close friend i knew years ago so i am going to call Annie after her.

Fairy meets fairy. 

Looks at those beautiful golden wings

Meet ANNIE my fairy swap who i will cherish always

  Thank you so very very much Tracey for making such a beautiful Fairy. xxxxxxxxxx
