Lovely packages, everyone. Now, there are two of you who are getting ready to move over to the "the bench" -- don't do it. I had to wait for something I ordered to arrive (the downfall of living in a small rural community). I am stuffing the packages today and will mail tomorrow. So, don't panic -- good things are on their way to someone in the NE who asked for a specific colour of fabric, has dogs, and likes batiks, coffee and chocolate. Another package will be winging its way to someone in the the Midwest who doesn't post very much, has a cat, likes to read and had no preferences of fabric colour or notions. I think the wait will be worth it.
