Great pkgs everyone! Mine will be in the mail on Monday! Love the sunbonnet sue wall hanging too cute! My DGdaughter wants to learn to make one. Well let me tell you we will both be learning as I have never done applique. Wish us luck. Bought her a book when JoAnn's had that extra 25% off last sun. Also made my 1st rag quilt today. It turned out really cute. Everyone have a great night!

My SP sent me a thank you, letting me know she got her package. Yay!!
Still waiting on mine, hopefully Monday
I love the pretty fabrics I'm seeing and especially the one from Scotland. I would LOVE to visit that country one day. I had a great grandmother from over there.

Brenda21 - Am I sending you an SP package this month? Maybe, or, maybe not... You have a 50-50 chance of guessing right. Does this clue help? My SP likes fabric and has a furbaby. Love the Japanese fabric and other goodies you received. So unless you have 2 SP's this month, I am eliminated as your sender, I guess.
Regarding the stilettos - I did get them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. 6 lacers in a package for $.99. And yes, you do need to use pointy nose pliers to bend the end over. It is at a 90 degree angle and magically, when you use the pliers it just turns out curved. Really easy. Anastasia - I agree - the metal glue creates a film, and lol, my thumb and forefinger got stuck together. I freaked out a bit when that happened. You must work fast and only use a little drop, not a glob. Not thrilled with the film to clean off, but I figure it's pretty sturdy. I found some spacer beads at a local consignment/crafter's mall and grabbed them for $1. There are probably 100 of them. Love deals like that.
Juli - love the deal YOU found for $10. Too cute. I must tell you that I was totally wishing my DGKs lived closer so they could have shown me how to open that locking box you sent. I have my stiletto beads in it (finally). It truly IS secure especially with ME as its owner. haha.

My Sp had her package delivered yesterday at 11:17 AM she lives in Glendale Oregon.... So hope she got it and will let us know...
Want to tell Teresa that I just loved the needle holder, it was in the picture I posted, it had a Pansy on the front, has 4 differed pages in it and I have different needles on each page... Also I didn't mention the darling Ladybug little bag she made and tissue holder to match made out of matching Ladybug material... the bag will be great when I go to class a week from today, for all the little things I will need.. Thanks again Teresa for a great package..

I'm so glad you liked everything. I did make the pin cushion and the coasters. I too am a Pat Cornwell fan, I'm so glad you haven't read the book, I have a copy too I have yet to read. My book collections is almost as big as my craft collection of various items, fabric being the main item. I hope you enjoy everything. I had a great time picking things out for you.
