She’s Here!!!!!!

I got my birthday pressie a day early!!! I’ve been dreaming of this (not so) little darling for a while now :o). ‘Rosie’ - as she shall be known, has now taken up residence in my sewing cave :o). YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

But it was not without hiccups …………………… of course lol!!!

I had plenty of re-arranging to do … goodness, it’s been years since I moved the old Horn cabinet!! I wish I had a bigger cave!! Had to put the table together ….

Got it all done – it took me ages because all the instructions were in Japanese LOL. and then I spotted a problem ………………

There was absolutely no way Rosie was going to fit in there!!!! I had put together the wrong table!!!!!!!

So back I went to change it for the right one, thankfully Peter put that one together for me at the shop (MUCH quicker than I did mine he he he) so all I had to do was bring it home :o).

And this is how she looks now…

*****sigh***** Isn’t she pretty?!?!!! All threaded and ready to go :o). I won’t show you the rest of my cave …. let’s just say I’ve got a bit lot of tidying up to do he he.

Thank you my darling Husband … I think turning 50 isn’t going to be half as bad as I thought it might be ;o).

I’ve hung my beautiful bunting that Maria made for me above Rosie… – Maria and Trash both gave me some lovely gifts when I met up with them in Bath and now that I’m all unpacked I can show you them ;o). Here’s the snuggly soft scarf Maria knitted for me too… And the beautiful linen hankie that Trash hand embroidered with a “BATH”tub– how wonderfully appropriate!! And the delicious hand made soap that I can’t wait to use…Thank you again my dear bloggy friends :o)!!!

Now that we’re over the jetlag, and the unpacking and washing is all caught up with, life is pretty much back to normal around here ……. and that’s not such a bad thing :o).
