Today, there was the first day with postal service after the Christmas break here - and the mailman brought me my swap package from CarolinePaj!

I love the greens on that mug rug! It's already in use as I'm writing, sitting next to me with a cup of coffee on it!

There were also some other lovely goodies, cute buttons, some lace, a FQ of nice Christmas fabric, some drinks - and a measuring tape. I have a very similar one, but when I pulled this one out, I discovered a feature that will come in very handy: There are centimetres on one side of the tape and inches on the other! Mine is centimetres only (because that's what we use here exclusively), but for quilting I've learned to use inches (because that's what almost all tutorials and patterns and most of you guys use). So far, I would use my quilting ruler for measuring up to 12", but for anything bigger I would measure in cm and then use a webpage to convert. So this little gadget will come in handy as I now can measure up to 60"!

Caroline, thank you so much for your parcel!
