A Big Box of Goodies

Earl's niece, Shyra, was so sweet and dropped this big box off goodies off to me last week.

It is packed full of scrapbook supplies, ribbons, fabric, fabric scraps, thread, stickers, etc......

THANK YOU SHYRA!

Here are some baskets that I made out of some of the fabric scraps

and some cute little carrots too.

I've had so much fun playing with all the goodies!

Thanks Shyra so much for sharing with me and for a nice visit!

Lots of Love Goin' on Here!

I received this pretty package in the mail

from my friend Cathy.

and look what is inside

a cute Valentine sewing kit that Cathy made for me.

Thank you so much Cathy for your thoughtfullness and

for the time you put into making something special for me!

I am so touched!

and then I also received this beautiful card from Mallory and Jace

Mallory spent hours handstitching this card for me.

She also stitched the inside of it.

Thanks Mallory!

You did a really great job and your stitches are so nice and even.

I LOVE it!

I made Mallory this bag for toting her school stuff around

and then some matchbox ornies for my stepmom, bus drivers, teachers, and Ezie's girlfriend.



and then some extra ones for swaps and to have on hand.

Happy Valentines Day to Everyone and Thanks again

Cathy and Mallory for the special gifts you made for me!

Snugglely Scarves

I made scarves for my grandaughters and daughter in laws for Christmas and wanted to share some of them with you.

I used Lion Brand Tweed Stripes Acrlic yarn and the pattern off the wrapper.

I think they turned out really pretty and

I like the colors of the Lion Brand Tweed Stripes yarn.

Show-n-Tell Time

I made this little baby quilt and matching basket for Earl's niece, Annie, who is having her first baby hopefully anyday now.

This is an ornament that I made for the YOE swap I'm in.

and this is the tote bag that went with the ornament. The theme was mermaids so I thought a beach bag would fit in with the mermaid idea. I love the vintage girly fabric.

I've made some other things over the last couple of weeks, but I'll share them later.

Have a wonderful day!

I Received some "Royal Mail"

Look at what I received in the mail yesterday postmarked by the "Royal Mail". Doesn't "Royal Mail" sound so cool compared to "US Postal Service"? It just sounds a little more magical.

Anyway, inside the package were these super cute tins. Aren't they so cute! They make me smile just looking at them! My sweet blogger friend Angel sent them to me all the way from the UK. Angel knew I liked these because her daughter Kelly had sent me the magnets that go with the set awhile back. I love tins and these are the cutest little tins! Thank you so much Angel for thinking about me and for your generosity!
