That's Amazing!
 

Last night my sister came over un-expectedly to show me something she is working on. We sat in my sewing room for at least five minutes talking. What is amazing? Her birthday present the snowman wall hanging was on display just to her left and she never looked that way. Her birthday is a week from today. Wonder what she will say when I tell her.

Oh, how funny!!!!

Surprise! that is funny .

You were lucky. In similar situation my friend noticed a tote bag I had just made (for her Christmas present) and said she loved it....could she perhaps have it? Well, I said yes, but not until Christmas. Then I told her I had made it for her all along.

But your sister will be surprised! She may not even believe it was right there and she didn't see it. :) I don't think I would believe that if my sister told me that.

Another lol for this morning! So funny! She'll laugh and laugh when she knows what happened!!

She will probably laugh! :)

Would it be possible that she saw it and suspected that it is for her so she didn't mention it? But...realistically, she was probably so involved in the project both of you were working on that she didn't see it.

That happen to me too. I haven't given my best friend the quilt yet.

How cute is that? I'm sure she will love it!

SUPRISE.....that's funny.

My stop daughter who will be 54 soon has tunnel vision and can't see things that not right in front of her, and her dad is the same way.

Loved this story. I am guilty of the same thing. A couple of years ago, my DH bought a vase of gorgeous roses for my birthday. I came in from work, full of stories of the day, opened the mail on the kitchen counter, and went to change my clothes. When I got back to the kitchen, I screamed when I saw the flowers. He said they had been there all along and I had opened the mail right next to them. I swear I had never seen them! This (and a few similar situations) should have taught me to be more vigilant about my surroundings, but I don't know that I am.

That is a cute story! Let us know her reaction when she does receive it. :)

Funny! I almost got "caught" when making a quilt for DH for Christmas. I was working on it only at night after he went to bed and thought I was safe one night when, lo and behold, I heard him coming downstairs (my studio is in the basement). I had to hurry to the door and turn out the lights like I was finished for the evening! Luckily, he didn't come into the room to get something (we have some extra storage cupboards down there, too). I managed to keep it a surprise until Christmas morning!

That is priceless - won't she be surprised when she opens her birthday present. Well, they say the best hiding place is in plain sight, so I guess that's true.

that's like the Christmas present that I set, in marked box, one top of the garage work bench for about 3 weeks for my DH and he never noticed it!
