Thanks for your lovely birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great birthday, we went for dinner at a friends house. It is so nice to have good friends at this time. Luckily we have managed to keep in touch all the way since the beginning of lockdown in March and have kept an eye on each other too, helping out where we could. We weren't game to go out to a restaurant at the moment since our recent increase in Covid cases, but were able to have a lovely evening with just the four of us together.
I had the idea for this photo a while ago and although it hasn't turned out quite how I intended I thought I would still post it.
It was quite a challenge stitching the lemon and lime together and a very sticky job too. ha ha.
After my absence yesterday, I will try and catch up with your photos this evening.
Love it! Fav! How creative of you! I wouldn't have gotten my hands dirty and had given it a try in Photoshop. But the real thing probably looks a lot better!
Very creative and verey nicely done.
( Those are no wild flowers. The Convolvulus tricolor are the crop. The Poppies left overs from last year. But as the seeds are so different it`s not a problem)
belated happy returns glad you were able to share your birthday celebrations with friends. This is a great idea - I am so impressed at the lengths you went to stitching the two together. What commitment!
@maggiemae@ingrid01 Ha ha, I didn't want to paint the crosses on or do them in photoshop because they wouldn't have looked real, but it would have been less messy I am sure.
@busylady I purposely bought a lemon and lime that were the same size so they would fit better.
@happypat A friend of mine thought of it and I just pinched her idea.

@dide What a good idea, never thought of that.
