mark your calenders!


make sure that you mark these 2 events into your calenders!
Quilts in the Barn is a wonderful time spent with like minded people,
not to mention the fantastic quilts that will be on display...
Linda and her team of helpers, along with the Crow Girls....makes for a wonderful day!!!!!
haven't been to this one, but I think that I will be trying my hardest to make it there....
not that I will probably ever do a Dear Jane quilt...
but it's always nice to look...

it's here!

Yes my Friends Swap parcel has landed from the lovely Sandra....
do you want to see what I got? 

 beautifully wrapped in pink, blue and mauve tissue paper and silvery ribbons!
F for fabric and fridge magnet about friends...
R and I for reading and inspiration... 
love Bari J books, she is such a star and soooo talented!
E for enjoy
(and they will be gone shortly after dinner I think!)
N for necessary...
a lovely kitchen hand towel, some lovely hand cream (smells divine) and a cute cupcake, 
made from a rolled up face cloth with the cutest strawberry on top!
D for doll...
isn't she cute?
and 
 
S for scarf...
now normally I don't do scarves, but this one is just stunning and as I do wear a bit of black this will get a lot of use I'm sure....

So firstly THANK YOU SANDRA for being a wonderful partner, 
(hope your parcel arrives soon)...
and THANK YOU KHRIS for running another awesome swap!

putting it away,

cutting up and bagging the meat for the freezer, 
I will try to post some photos for PAD...
