Bimbi's Birthday Commission

 Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzzy bee, buzzy bee.
Ah! How I long to hear a bumble bee whizzing past my ear instead of the icy wind. Today I'm sitting looking straight ahead out of the front room window at the blue sky and a snow covered hilltop. 

 back to our buzzy bees to remind us of summer.
Here they are in amongst the flowers in the meadow.

 This piece of embroidered felt was commissioned by the lovely Bimbi, for her birthday which as it happens is today.
She didn't quite know what she was getting as Hubby was buying it for her and I don't think she was allowed to see it until today.
Happy Birthday Bimbi!
I hope she liked it.

Edited to add,   YAY! She loves it! Take a look here to see Bimbi's beautiful photos.

Dear Fi
YES, I absolutely LOVE it! It is beautiful and perfect and just so what I had hoped it would be. Thank you so, so much!
I was totally amazed by two things. The first one was the weight, light as a feather yet strong. The other was the sheer perfection in the felting. It's so delicate.
Fi, I'm totally thrilled with it. There will be a post on my blog, but we've just got over a wedding as well and I haven't had a minute.

Beautiful Fiona! Surely the faeries have blessed your fingers?!
I had to share with others 'my' latest acquisition and noticed Sheri beat me to let you know!
Wishing you a wonderful (warm and sunny) Spring and just so you know, saving my pennies for another project!
Blessings Dear,

First time visiting your blog Fiona and I love your work. The combination of felt, machine and hand embroidery is wonderful. Definitely something I would love to try - too bad you are not in NZ running classes!
