Yippee! Fantastic parcel arrived today from 'sewdamncute'. I got a couple of yards of Kaffe Fassett's Kite Tails, a Fiskars blade (the Olfa one makes mine run like a car with a flat tyre), some Harbor Frieght ones which I read good reviews on, socks and a toy for Fergus, which he clearly loves!
Thanks so much- I love everything!

I have a 5 lb. bag that I bought earlier this year when I got my

Found yarn, crochet patterns, erasers, journal, Fat qtrs, a too cute large piece of kids print with airplanes on it, purple fabric. She contributed to my "vintage look" hankerchiefs, I have been trying to get enough to make a quilt and they are hard to find. Buttons, for the other quilt I want to make, and I have been saving them up AND my "wish" item, my "mini iron cooling tote bag for my Clover mini iron! Yay me!!! The box just seemed endless. Thank you, thank you. I had a rough week at work this week and this just made it worth the wait.
I'm so glad you liked your package.....the fact that you like it makes me happy too!

I hope she likes ittttt...
Oh goodie I got a message from her today saying she got it a few days ago.. wow that was fast, to the netherlands. I had Wenot for my pal. Not sure if she'll post but here I'll list what I tossed in there
3 half yards of fabric, one orange, one light pink, and one with gold cross stuff that's out of print
2 patterns for kids clothes, one for boys, one for girls
A bottle of elmers washable school glue, a regular red clear 12" ruler, a little package of heart pins, 3 binder clips, a little notepad, small red handled scissors.. oh poop I can't remember if there was anything else in there, and i put that all in a red plastic bin, and the red stiletto I made her and already showed you guys.
I dunno it was crammed pretty well hehe. i can't remember everything I shoved in. oh yea and a small dry erase board that says Peace, and a little red gel pen.. (can you guess she said she liked red?) trying to think if there was anything else. it's too early for me...

Catpawski, thank you for the wonderful envelope. It included The Border Workbook which I cannot wait to try. Also Joann patterns, a cute note, and a sewing machine eraser. I can use the bees wax lip balm and the Paula Deen bottle opener (round rubber). There were row marking pins, apple pie note cards, a lovely Sunflower fob for scissors and 2 yards of coordinated autumn fabric.
