Take for instance, this surprise package of sewing goodies from Ann-Margret sent from Canada! If you haven't stopped by to visit her recently, you should. Her book is being published! A real bound book. I just think that's great.
And I recently started reading Sew,Mama,Sew. Hello? Where have I been? Free Fabric Fridays?!?! Imagine my surprise when I found out I was a lucky winner this past week! She posted the new Katie Jump Rope fabric by Denyse Schmidt. I was smitten at first site. I love the green version and imagined a fun summer skirt. So when Kristin emailed me with the great news I had to get another yard. I mean come on. You just have to. And while I was at it, I thought I would try the Cute Skirts pattern by Favorite Things. (Currently out of stock, but should be back in by the end of the week.)
AND, Alice over at futuregirl sent me this crocheted hand bag. Now that I think about it, maybe I should make a skirt to match too. Anyways, she has *the* cutest octopus pattern for sale right now.
So there you have it. Love from the depth of my mailbox. I love it.
And since I am a beef quiz bowl champion (and I got some raised eyebrows from the crowd) I thought I would share my beef knowledge in a future post. Specifically, "how to pick a steak" since grilling season is upon us. It's currently warming on the back burner. I have so many little projects in the works. I have to finish my container garden today, little odds and ends for a wedding present, more painting on my ornate frames, and some birthday planning.

Wow! You've received some great stuff! I really love the crocheted purse!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are one lucky girl! A FFF winner & a crochet bag from futuregirl. Must be all those four leaf clovers.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky lucky four-leaf-clover-lucky girl!! I'll try to show my envy. And I just cut out 2 skirts from the Cute Skirts pattern myself, so I'll let you know how mine turn out. In the meantime, I anxiously away your beef knowledge. And I'm not joking either.
ReplyDeleteIn my 2nd sentence above, I meant to say "I'll try NOT to show my envy." That's what I get for not previewing first.
