In the absence of any serious meaningful or conceptual art going on around here at the moment, I bring you frivolity instead. My days are being spent stitching vicars...
Embroidering button babes to replenish my diminishing stock (they have been very popular of late)
Happy birthday Joe... I think I can safely say, in the nicest possible way, the most frivolous of my four sons! I miss you!
Love the vicars - perfect for tea cosies! Cute button babes too. Glad you're having some fun :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks just like my father-in-law...
ReplyDeleteYou gotta love that vicar!! Happy Birthday to the frivolous Joe - 4 sons? Oh my goodness!

I love the vicar tea cozy...what a charming way to serve tea!
ReplyDeleteMy 23 year old daughter saw the pictures and says he's very cute....your son, not the monkey.
Great stuff! What a wonderful photo of your son and the monkey!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 22 today too, snap.
ReplyDeleteThe vicars are brilliant.
Nothing like stitching up a vicar! I've been rather lax in keeping up with blogs over the last few busy weeks so I've only just learned the awful news about your degree. Talk about having the rug pulled out from under your feet. Many commiserations, and I do hope the powers that be can sort out an alternative for you, Penny xxx
ReplyDeleteGina, just managing to catch up on my favourite blogs and read your bolt-from-the-blue news - I do hope you'll get some solid news soon about the future of your degree course.
ReplyDeleteI love the look on the vicar's face. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Joe!

These are really cute. Happy Birthday to your son. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the tea cosy - the cake looked very nice - I expect his brothers enjoyed his birthday cake|!
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with frivolity! Have lots of it and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how that cake is going to make it through the post!
ReplyDeleteLoving the Vicar.
Love the vicars and Button Babes, and Happy Birthday to Joe. He looks as if he's found a friend! Four sons? I have four daughters but they are all far too old for your sons - in fact two of them have sons of their own, the same age as Joe.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Joe! The vicar is great! We all need plenty of frivolity!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you still bake a cake - even though he's the other side of the world. Happy Birthday to Joe x
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a minister...might make him a cosy.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your adventurous boy ; )
I love those amazing tea cozy 's whatabout some with lady vicars!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGina, I'm so sorry to read about your degree and I can completely understand how you must feel all at sea. I hope something positive is sorted soon so that you can continue with all of the creative delights that you share with us and have a degree to show for it all. Glad to see that you're keeping your fingers busy in the meantime - those vicar teacosies are wonderful! Happy Birthday to Joe - it must be hard to have him so very far away. Hope you get some good news soon, J x
ReplyDeleteThe stitched vicars are a hoot!! Just wonderful and fun as can be! Also, happy birthday to your boy! It's bitter sweet as they grow up and move away. (My oldest is also 22 as well.) xo
ReplyDeleteI love this post, it is so happy!
