Prezzies!!!

I got my parcel card in the mail that my package was in so my friend and I scooped it up and had the grand opening at my DD's. She was shocked I wasn't opening it. On a busy street??? I might lose something! The kiddies oohed and ahhed along with all of us but I think the box was the biggest hit! lol Thanks to Sew We Quilt and a generous Madame Samm!


I got the big wheeled bag for transporting a sewing machine and supplies to class. I got a cotton quilt batt, a calendar, a magazine, some self stick thimbles thimbles, 3 bunches of FQ's, and 2 kinds of Prescencia thread. The batting and threads are new to me so I'm curious to try them.




In the mail was also a book I've been waiting for. There is a lot of talk on the DIY blogs about Amy Sloan Chalk Paint and I found a Canadian supplier and I'm drooling over her book and lovely colours and techniques.



And to top things off a visit to the thrift shop got me another white pitcher with its bowl. This is very lovely.


I brought one grandchild home and we are having a work bee outside so no playing till next week!

    Oh Elle I cannot think of anything finer than for you to receive these amazing sewing gifts. You will certainly use every bit of them. Congratulations! Chalk paint is quite the rage yet I am not familiar with this book. I shall be anticipating your projects. Enjoy your work bee with the grandlittle. *_*

    Holy cow. That big wheeled bag is wonderful. I know you will put it to use. Of course, I also look forward to your using the batting and thread, too.

    I've not heard of chalk paint. Will have to do an internet search for it. And have fun being a worker bee this week with the the grandie.

    What a fun box to open! I have a pitcher and bowl almost identical sitting in my bathroom, that I found at a Humane Society shop many years ago!
