I received my package from Renee (gzuslivz) today.
She sent me a wonderful package including a box of tea, blue fabric, binding clips, tape measure, mug rug and a wonderful bag of buttons that she picked up for me while on a trip with her husband. Thank you Renee for a wonderful package. I am going to try and post a picture. |
sorry upload failed once again, If you have a photo of the package you sent me please feel free to post it. again Thanks.
|
to my other sp, it seems as if your package got hung up somewhere during delivery. it should have gotten to you today but delivery confirm is not showing that. but no worries, if you are on the bench you shouldnt be there very long. your package is on its way to you. stay warm.

Wanda Lou, I know you had alot of trouble getting to post a picture.Then you finally got one posted.I don't understand that. I believe some maybe having trouble with the new site.Once you figure it out it should be the same thing next time.I wish I was better at this computer stuff to help.Sorry. Mary

I was in a bit of pain when they left but it was worth it. then new medication gives me about 3 hours of relief. I take it 2x's a day. Which is better than less than 1 hour that I was getting on the old medication. My daughter is having another girl due in April. Her name is going to be Harper Reese. I can't wait to watch her come into this world. I've been present for 4 of them. Emma was by c-section so I wasn't able to be there. I also got a call from the Dr's office today. Some of my test came back elevated and indicate acute inflammatory problems. So I will have to keep trying to find a rheumatologist for treatment as it looks like I definitely have some type of inflammatory disease on top of everything else.
Verna I'm sorry to hear that you are leaving us. You will be missed. Great packages received today. I saw lots of things that I would be happy to adopt. Mary you went from not being able to post pictures to the picture posting expert here. Thank you everyone for all of your support. Lori I had a thought today. What if new swappers had to send earlier than everyone else their first time. That way if they do not send on time to their person, then the person who is to send to them can send to the person who the newbie failed to send to. I think that would cut down on people signing up and not following thru and their person would not be left empty handed until an angel sends them a package. Just a thought. I hope you understand what I am saying. Also I hope that I am not offending anyone be saying this. I know that life happens and there are exceptions. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful evening. Hugs to everyone, Robyn My youngest gd is named Harper Grace - she's now 16 months and what an independant but cuddly, loveable little imp she is. |

Awesome packages coming through! Havplenty I love those metallic threads! Robyn and Juli hope you both get better and try not to stress too much, easier said than done I know but with my MS and the holidays I can't afford to be sick as I am single and work but u are both in my prayers! Mary thank you for your comment. I don't care how long it takes I'm going to continue to be using this board! Krystyna always nice to see you pop in! I miss you!!!!!!!!! That is an adorable dressform you received! I haven't received my SP package but am having so much fun looking at all the other neat stuff coming in!
Have a great evening all! |
OK, one SP got hers, and tomorrow I do believe the second SP should get hers! It is in your state according to USPS! I didn't take photos before sending, and sorry about forgetting candy too! dang batting zeros!
|
Swap I wanted to do
Just before the board changed I sent PatriceJ a PM
asking about setting up a swap and MANY of you seemed to be interested or at least curious as to what I had planned. Well Patrice replied back to be requesting that I resubmit my request after Nov. 15 so I just finished sending her the new request, in fact I sent her a request for 2 different kinds of requests. So with that said we shall see IF either of them get the approval or not. Keep your fingers crossed. |
Good Luck Louise

Hey everyone just wanted to say "Hi". DH and I ran to the dentist today and then eye doctor tomorrow before his insurance runs out. He's retired USAF so we have medical. But figured we'd better get that done while we could. Nice pkgs again today. Still haven't heard from my SP hope she's alright and maybe just out of town. I know her pkg was delivered. Haven't received my pkg yet but as others have said it's still early. Robyn glad you had a good day and the meds are giving you some relief. Congrats on new Gdaughter to be. Juli hope they are able to do something to help you. Nice to see you pop in Krystyna. Cute pin cushion Robyn.

This has been a hectic week and I'm remiss in not posting sooner. I received a terrific package from sustraley that I love. She sent a "Taste of Home" magazine (I love magazines), a book to read I look forward to starting, red/white fq's my favorite colors, apple cider and a pretty Christmas mug to enjoy it in, a red/white writing pad for being able to jot notes, a cute Happy Harvest pumpkin, chocolate & gummies...yummy, a sweet baby book for our sweet dgd who loves being read to (thank you for thinking of her) and adorable labels that say "Made with Love and Kisses" to label things I make for her. Thank you Sue, you were a great pal and I love everything! This is my first attempt at doing a picture so here's hoping...
It worked! Hurray! Thanks to my helpers :) |

My sister is going to have her baby tomorrow. I just got back from the hospital from visiting her. They will induce her in the morning. The baby is going to be 3 weeks early since she is due until the 9th of Dec. She has been having high blood pressure. She was at our this this afternoon, we went out to lunch and then she went to her appt she told the Doc that her hand have been going numb. The Doctor has been montioring her and baby twice a week and they have been talking about inducing her. The Doctor told her the baby has no more room to grow, so they are going to go ahead and induce, so she in now in the hospital and will induce in the morning. The baby is probably around 5 lbs. right now.

I wish her the best with her new baby. :) Please keep us posted on all the details...We all love hearing about babies. :)

I forgot to share one of the best parts of the day yesterday. My oldest granddaughter Ellie 6 years old said Nana when are you going to teach me how to make a quilt? I told her soon, that it would have to be a day when just her comes over so that I can give her my full attention and be distracted by anything else. I'm so excited, I can't wait to watch her pick out fabrics from Nana's stash so that I can cut the pieces for her first quilt. I will have to carefully plan all this out so that she is safe while sewing.
I finally got my quilt magazines all organized the way that I want them. I have a small book shelf and had sorted by magazine and dates before, but every time I wanted to find something it ended up being a mess. I have been wanting to get those magazine holders that hold several magazines that stand on end, but they are very expensive. Well the other night in the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep I came up with the perfect solution and didn't cost me anything. I just recycled the medium flat rate boxes that are long and wide and shallow. I was able to cut one into 2 magazine holders. I always keep boxes as I know at some point I will find a use for it so that it doesn't go to waste. Just reseal the end and mark the cutting lines, cut and there you go. If anyone is interested I can tell you exactly how I did it. Here is a picture of one of them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]288786[/ATTACH] Juli I have said a prayer for your sister and her baby. Congratulations Auntie. |
Lots of great packages again today. I have not received one yet but still early. off to work for now.

This is the package I received from walk-n-roll (Diana) last week. Note the ice cream sundae pin cushion...the fabric is scoops of ice cream. The rolled up fabric (tied with selvages, by the way), is really 2 cotton men's shirts and 2 pair of wool pants. The booklet calls for both wool and cotton. Love those thrift store finds! The soup rug is bigger than a mug rug - smaller than a placemat. Perfect for that bowl of soup on a cold day.

Hi Ladies - and Charles, too! Love Robyn's pin cushions. They're the best!
Here's a little quilted coat I made last night for Daisy Mae the nightmare dog. The quilting gets lost in the fur, but it's there. I think she looks verry stylish!:thumbup: Unfortunately, she wasn't too happy about modeling. |
