I ordered some fabric for my secret pal. Let's hope it will be here soon. It is fun putting a package together for her.

My Secret Pal and I have very different tastes in fabric. But, I'm learning about some fabric designers I've never heard of as I see what I can find for her....

Hubby and I ended up shopping last night. I was in the area with pet toys and grabbed for something. Hubby, "We don't need that." Me, " I know. It is for my friend's pet." " Since when are we buying stuff for our friend's pets?" He responds. Me, " I love them and their pets." Hubby, "Oh, OK." I am doubled over laughing.

I got a nice package from Anna yesterday. It included some beautiful yellow fabric as well as some Kaffe fat quarters!! I know it all will come in handy for various projects. I also got some reading materials...books and a magazine and some snacks to have while I read.

She also sent me a fall decor item...the cute little pumpkin.

Thanks for the great swap package Anna!!

I finally got a shipping notice for a couple of things I ordered on Sept. 4, so hopefully I can finish up my package and get it in the mail by Friday...

Happy sewing all!
