Embroidered Valentines Card

I've had the past two days off work, so I had chance to get out the sewing machine and get creative. I love free hand machine embroidery and needed to make a Valentines card for Neil, this idea had been in my head for a while. At Christmas I made a few stags head cards for friends and family and using the same design I've added a romantic twist. 

The card turned out exactly as I'd imagined it and I love the facial expression of the stag he doesn't look too please about being decorated; I can't wait to give it to Neil later. I'm a typical girl when it comes to Valentines Day, I love flowers and romantic gestures however teddy bears holding love hearts are definitely off limits. 

I hope you all have a loved filled day, whatever you're up to and whoever you're spending it with! 

Happy Valentines Day!

How I Spent My Sunday #1

Sunday is definitely my favourite day.. after Friday of course. Just lately I seem to accidentally be having fantastic Sundays. Not really any planning or preparation involved just lovely spontaneous Sundays! 

This one was spent as usual with Neil, starting with a lie in, strictly no alarms allowed! Then I get a cup of tea brought to me in bed, followed by the smell of bacon cooking away, just the perfect wake up! 

After a lazy morning we both got wrapped up and headed out to discover a gloriously sunny and surprisingly warm day!

Having a splash about!

After wandering round the park we decided to stop off at Brocco on the Park for a hot beverage. We sat out in the lovely seating area and wrapped ourselves up in the tweed blankets (I love little touches like that.)

I'm a sucka for a good English Breakfast Tea in a pretty cup and saucer, and for a Potteries born girl like me it's so nice to see it's Made in Britain!

How did you spend your Sunday? I hope you managed to get out and about, or even better stayed snuggled up inside! Sunday the day of rest and adventure!
