So here I was just fiddling around and doing some sewing ....[ATTACH=CONFIG]328334[/ATTACH] for the niece's birthday this weekend, she is getting a Kindle Fire and I was asked to make a cover.
The old man and the furkids took the trash down and went to the store. When he came back there was this THING in his HANDS!! It looked something like this: [ATTACH=CONFIG]328335[/ATTACH]
Lo and behold, the says: "Half of whatever in there is mine." It is amazing how they PERK up when there might be chocolate or candy goodies.
So I opened the box and....
It was amazing...
There was all these wonderful things!! STUFF FOR ME!!
Fabric and more fabric and even more FABRIC.
A Bunny, guarding bunny chocolates.
A measuring tape for when I gain 10 pounds from eating the chocolate.
And patterns. I've become such a pattern nut!!
A small cake candle, which the DH asked if it was real candy. Wow..he'll eat anything.
And seeds, yes seeds. I'm gonna plant them under my sewing room window.
So without further ado..here are the pics. Thank you so much Barefoot Quilter!!!!
