Squishy mail

I have had two lovely parcels arrive on my doorstep this week. The first from my friend Elyte.....some beautiful blue fabrics and a cute wooden bunny. Could this be the beginning of a new colour direction? Perhaps a clamshell quilt in blues? I especially like the rabbit fabric.

The other package came all the way from the Netherlands, although I think it may have stopped off for a mini break on the way. I won a giveaway from Carin and now I am the happy owner of this beautiful pin cushion, and some much needed purple for my stash. 


Little packages of fabric from near and far really are the happiest mail.......thank you both so much.

It's a big day today, as I'm taking Mr 16 to have his braces taken off. He's had them for over 2.5 years so he's more than a little bit excited. Then tomorrow we're heading to Sydney for a university and college open day for Mr 18. I doubt there will be any patchwork shop stops, but I might try some more knitting in the car (maybe i'll get my cowl finished in time to wear it before the weather warms up).

Happy stitching.

  2. Love your fabrics, and the pincushion is adorable!
    I am sure mr. 16 will be thrilled to get his braces off. My 16 yr old still need his on for a while, he's had them for 18 months now, and just got them adjusted again yesterday...
    Good luck on your University open day!

  5. You've got some lovely additions to your stash there. I especially like the blue bunny fabric too. Sounds like busy exciting times at your house. Removing braces after such a long time would be up there with getting your P's I imagine.

  11. Ohh love stash of fabric and a new pin cushion, lucky you! Hope the trip to Sydney goes well. Celebratory eats once the braces are off? Or can Mr16 eat most things with braces, I have teenage memories of certain things being banned...but don't remember what they were!?

  22. Your parcels of fabric say Spring!! for you! Love the touch of daffofils - we won't be seeing any for the next 8 months...the leaves are beginning to show their autumn colors and the nights have touched on freezing this past week.
