Fabulous Forty

I had birthday last week and my co-workers surprised me with this lovely bouquet and a gift card. In the evening I had dinner with my parents and brother. They gave me this lovely basket.

Happy Midsummer!

After three dry Midsummers (when bonfires were not allowed) we finally got to light one up last night. As it was raining a lot, it proved to be a challenge :-) There was a lot of smoke, a lot of sputter and also some fire...

The photo below is from this morning, when a thunderstorm was approaching.

Rain or not, I hope you all have had a lovely Midsummer!

More exchanges and WIPs

In the scissor fob exchange, I received this really cute fob from Marja. She also sent me a lovely needle book. Thank you, Marja, these will be treasured (and put to use)!


On the WIP front, I have two new progress pictures to share. I finished part 2 of Mystery XI on Friday and part 6 of Damier yesterday:
