1. Crafty Gatherings with Special Friends
I spent today with two sweet stitching buddies – chatting, eating, and looking through craft books. Bliss!
2. Lemon Macaroons
I tried a new macaroon flavour today – Lemon. Loving citrus flavours at the moment. They were filled with my lemon butter. I used a recipe from here.
3. Hexagons
I bought a pack of hexagon templates at a recent Craft Fair. I have been enjoying stitching up a batch of hexagons and can see them appearing in all sorts of projects.
4. Sashiko
I finished my sashiko panel and decided to turn it into a drawstring bag – perfect for travel or projects on the go.
Some of my other favourite things are….
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
brown paper packages tied up with strings,
these are a few of my favorite things.
Your sashiko bag looks absolutely wonderful. I like the little bit of check at the top.
Your favorite things all look like fun and those lemon cookies look absolutely delicious!!
What a lovely post. Your sashiko looks wonderful and it looks like you had a lovely day even if it was cold.

I am absolutely certain that I like lemon macaroons too.
Your hexagons are lovely.
Polka dotted teacups and plates make is all even better.
Your favourite things are also some of mine!! Especially chatting with craft friend, eating and doing crafts. Wonderful stuff! Have a great day.

Great blog, I like your teacup set, are they maxwell&williams? The sashiko set is a great idea, looks good too!
I think Lemon Macaroons are my new favourite too…I’m saving mine for dessert 😉
The Sashiko looks fabulous…running stitch never looked so good (wink!)
Thanks for another fun day xxx
That’s a wonderful list of favorite things Lisa. Those lemon macarons look deeeeelicious. And those hexies — how cute!!!
I really love your favorite things too! I bet it was fun to use your own lemon butter in those lemon macaroons. I swear I am going to try hexagons one of these days. What size templates are you using? My sister tried sashiko recently, and she like it, so I might have to try that too. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a lovely table full of yummies! Love the polka dots!
Your favorites could easily be my favorites. Your projects are sweet…especially those adorable hexies.
Great day!
