Just posted a finish myself too. :-) Now I love your finishes but oh my gosh that gift for Julie!!!!!!! That is just soooooooo beautiful and so well finished too. And I love tea so that has a soft spot for me...a spot of tea that is. Lol!<br /><br />Your garden is just riotous with summer loving. I heard from a friend up north that the heather is starting to bloom and cannot wait to head up to Cranberry Cottage as soon as Jos gets home! <br /><br />I am so sorry that Ollie is having his paw problems. Give him a big ol' doggie cuddle for me and tell him I said get well.<br /><br />Happy weekend!<br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073198955814650210.post-1022326249660949332010-08-10T19:37:03.392+01:002010-08-10T19:37:03.392+01:00Your SAL is coming along beautifully!

I made the victoria sandwich from in that book for Amy for her birthday, filled it with homemade blackcurrant jam. <br /><br />I love my pillow and have it hanging next to my stitching chair in the conservtory, its had lots of nice compliments about it already from visitors. I said i would pass them on to you.<br /><br />Nice progress on the JA and i love the latest finish, what a great saying. I am glad the weathers a bit cooler.<br /><br />Lots of folks seem to be having wasps nest in the gardens this year, must be a mammoth year for the blighters.<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863899802782756191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073198955814650210.post-56352619272102119842010-08-06T23:32:35.150+01:002010-08-06T23:32:35.150+01:00I do love stopping by your blog Barb, it's lik...I do love stopping by your blog Barb, it's like having a slice of your happiness, it really brightens my day, lots of lovely pictures!!<br />Both those cakes look YUMMY!!!Stitchabilitieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08486522750431462605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073198955814650210.post-1663117464991946602010-08-06T20:28:59.500+01:002010-08-06T20:28:59.500+01:00Yumm, lemon drizzle cake!

Gorgeous stitching especially your stitch for Julie and the little boat is so sweet - yucky weather here in the South too including thunderstorms - I know the gardens all need it but not much fun for little bunnies!

Return to the Sea is coming along really nice and the JA design you have made into a lavender sachet is absolutely gorgeous. I have been meaning to get that little pattern for ages but never got round to it. I also love the Jardin Prive pattern. I haven't seen that before, it's absolutely lovely and I really like your clever finishing idea.<br /><br />Your lemon cake looks so delicious and so does the Guinness cake. I will swop you my Lavender and lemon drizzle cake recipe for your Guinness one...haha! I have wanted to try cooking with lavender for a while and saw this recipe. It was a dream to cook and the flavour was delicious. I used freshly dried lavender and obviously,<br />it's quite important to know it hasn't been grown using pesticides so your own grown or a friend's would be perfect.<br /><br />I have quite a big loaf tin so made one and a half worth of mixture and it was perfect. The recipe is here:<br /><br />http://coconutraita.blogspot.com/2010/04/lavender-and-lemon-drizzle-cake.html<br /><br />Your garden looks wonderful as always. the lilies are just stunning.<br />Hope Ollie's paws start to get better soon. <br />Angela xxangelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2073198955814650210.post-71820445289694175972010-08-04T18:13:54.677+01:002010-08-04T18:13:54.677+01:00Gorgeous finishes - so cute.

The gift you stitched for Julie is just gorgeous. Oh I wish I could share your lemon drizzle cake - it is my absolute favourite. I do like the Hairy Bikers!

I actually think roll is my favourite as it's so pretty and delicate looking. <br /><br />I am about at the same place as you on the JA :) I am enjoying this one so much. I have my piccies uploaded to the PC so will see if I can get a blog post done tomorrow.<br /><br />Lovely RAk from Tina and very nice new stash!! <br /><br />Aww bless poor Ollie. I do hope he is better soon.<br /><br />I would love to come for some of your very yummy looking lemon drizzle cake.
