But, of course I do!!! hahaha. Actually, I have specially formulated, lucky sewing sweats that I wear when I want to be creative. Not sure what I will do when they fall apart, though. Guess my creativity will end.

Hello fellow Swappers!! Just wanted to share that I received a most wonderful swap package from Krystyna last Monday (sent her a message last monday)....but just wanted to share a little bit about how special it was....it came at a time when I needed a lift...and it lifts me still! My box was filled to overflowing with the most beautiful fabric including purples and greens that make me smile to just look at them, my fav candie (Werthers caramels), yo-yo (what a fun thing to get), a pair of those little stork scissors....2 pair of beautiful embroidered earrings (shells, scissors), a beautiful shell and river rocks (both of which I collect), magazines for inspiration, a handmade potholder, a thread cutter....a jar of homemade blackberry jam....MMMMmmmmmmm. To say that she really paid attention to my list is an understatement....It was an awesome package to receive at a very challenging time, which I choose not to go into here.

I will say that I will probably step out of participating in the swap for the next couple of months as I am not able to give the time to actively participate beyond a couple of messages....I do miss it, but it seems only fair. Until I am able to get back to you all...I wish you love!!

Well it is proving to be one of THOSE kind of days for me now.
Well everything started out just fine, cleaned the kitchen, took
a shower got dressed left to go to the store for shop shopping
(sadly not fabric or anything fun like that). Remembered that
I had not ate yet today so I decided to stop off at the little cafe
up the street from me, order a glass of ice tea, and small plate
of french fries.

Yvette (the server) brings my fries and the Heinz 57 sauce to
me (I like to dip the fries in it). As usual I "shake" the bottled
only to discover to late that the cap was NOT tight on the bottle
just "sitting" on it, Heinz 57 sauce went flying EVERY where mostly
on ME, hair, glasses, shirt, pants, INSIDE my shirt (that one mystifies
me). walls, table, everywhere but ON the fries go figure.

Yvette comes over with extra napkins, wet towels, and poor girl
is TRYING not to laugh helps me clean things up, but when she
was going to help me get it out of my hair she lost it and so did
I.

Proceeded to eat than came back home to take yet another shower
so I am calling that shower #3 in 90 minutes. I am almost afraid
to try to make it to the store now wandering what will happen next
LOL.

Just thought I would give y'all a laugh for today (at my expense).

Have a HAPPY (or better than mine) Tuesday.

Thanks for the chuckle, made even more funny because it reminded me of an event 38 years ago when my son was barely able to sit in a high chair in a rest area on the NYS Thruway. I ordered a salad (back then they were dripping wet with dressing) and the waitress tipped her tray just enough that the salad landed upside down on David's little bald head. Dressing was dripping off everywhere - eyelashes, nose, ears, back of his head, chin..... To his credit he simply looked surprised - never cried. The waitress rushed away mortified and in tears and refused to come back, and I was laughing like a hyena. Gosh, I had not thought of that in years. Thanks again and I hope the rest of your day was also funny. Don't you just love to laugh?
