Waiting....

i have also ordered a copy of Jelly Roll Quilts from Fishpond (they have free shipping at the moment! i have no connection to the company - i am just a happy customer)

a friend had a copy at a recent quilter's gathering and i fell in love with the book!  it has some really nice quilts in it and i cant wait to have my own copy...
  
P.S. my book is here and i LOVE it... just need to decide which quilt to make first!

Reading, Reading, Reading

the past few weeks i have been in a mood to read, so i dug through my stash of unread books and spent some time with a few of my favorite authors:





and i am half way through

My postie, my friend...

I've been shopping again, oops!

Firstly I bought this BEAUTIFUL hand made crochet bunny rug from Naomi over at Crafty Owl Naomi, she does beautiful work and it was a pleasure to buy from her. My photo doesn't do it justice, but I just had to share: And this cool parcel arrived from Fishpond. It looks a bit like cardboard shrink wrapping for books! It is the best mailing packaging that I have seen and I just had to share a photo with you...
The cardboard is waxed on the inside (protection from the wet) and there isn't any addition padding other than the cardboard BUT it is nice and stiff and protected my books beautifully.

I wish all retailers would think about how they pack items for posting and the environmental impacts that unnecessary packaging creates

One more birthday goodie....


I have been wanting this book for AGES and I kept telling myself that it was too expensive (around $40 plus postage), recently I found it at Fishpond and it was only $33.94 (including postage!) so I gave in and bought it as a birthday gift to myself. It should be here within a week, I am looking forward to a fun read.
