Back in my craft room today and making a 21st Birthday card for a Marilyn Monroe fan. Great to hear that she still has fans, even after all those years. I still love all her films.
At the foot of this post I have included one of my birthday gifts from Anne. So lovingly made and one I will cherish every day, as it holds my knitting and crotchet. We always try to make a creation for each other at Christmas and Birthdays, and have done this ever since we met, it makes for a really special day too. Thank You Anne. Hope your having some time in the sun as well as your craft space. Take Care. Hugs Rita xxxx
My treasured Knitting /Crotchet Bag that was made by Anne as part of my Birthday gifts
Anne herself asked me to open this one and I was taken aback, by her beautiful stitching.

Hi Rita,
what a very super card. I love the picture of the wee Scottish dram, excuse the pun.
My DH got bought a £50 bottle of this wonderful drink for his Birthday at the weekend, as he always has a wee dram, well I say a wee dram, but it's sometimes a little more before bed at night, but never before 10pm.
Love the superb knitting bag from Anne, such a clever material.
I do hope she has fully recovered from her fall last year.
I also hope you and your hubby are keeping well, if not then big get well wishes winging it's way from me.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I love both of these! Such a clever card and the knitting bag is amazing. Love the fabric!
A great card and such a lovely bag. No wonder you were thrilled with it Rita. It's great to hear you are feeling a little better too. Jenny x

What a wonderful gift, the TH fabric is so appropriate. Your card is lovely with the plaid. Sounds like this visit was just what you needed. You seem like such a giving person, it is nice someone gave back to you.
What a beautiful bag to receive from Anne, and in TH fabric too, couldn't be better present I am sure. Love your card and hooray for the sunshine, it's making us all feel better I think. Take care. xx
Great card Rita and a lovely gift from Anne too, xxx
Hi Rita, thanks for your lovely words...I thought your card would arrive here by the end of the month, that's good to hear...where does your brother live? I live in New South Wales in the northern part...warmer...but cold at the moment. take care.xxx aNNie ♥ The Journey is the Start

Hi Rita, our visit was so good and I feel so much better too, for having spent some wonderful time with you and Andrew (and Annie too!). I too, wish we had more time together - hopefully next time....my lovely friend. I am so pleased you like your bag too although I think you were being far too generous about my stitching ! LOL.
I love your card, so perfect for the occasion, your work is always so impressive and this wonderful card is no exception. Big hugs to you and Andrew, Anne xx

Lovely card, Rita - beautifully themed... what birthday would be complete without a wee dram?! A great way to say thank you to the friend who has been such a support to your brother. I don't think I realised he was having radiotherapy... do hope things are going smoothly with it.
And oh, my word, what a wonderful gift from Anne. I've no doubt that her company raised your spirits, and I should think this amazing bag added to the feeling - magnificent!
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Your bag is GORGEOUS! What a treat that must have been to open. It is delightful.
Wow to both the wonderfully masculine birthday card and that marvelous gift bag. I'm so happy that you & Anne got to have such an enjoyable visit, and after all you've been through lately, I'm sure it did your spirit loads of good. The bag just 'looks like Anne', and you will think of her with affection each time you see it. Love sharing your visit in the photo's you've posted. Glad you are feeling better now. TFS & Hugs
