Goodies in the mail, and don't forget my Giveaway!!

I just love it when the parcel lady comes!!! I get so excited :o)!!!

I ordered some goodies from Hancocks in Paducah U.S just over a week ago and they arrived today!! Great service :o). Oooops... I forgot to grab the camera before I opened the package so you see before you what happens when a fabric addict gets a parcel in the mail!!!!Look at the goodness inside ......I've got an official Hancocks 40th Anniversary catalogue ...... absolutely CHOCKAS with LOADS of different fabrics to drool over ..... heaven to my eyes :o)!!!

I got a couple of gorgeous mini honeybuns from Moda Bake-shop ....

"Objects of Desire" in the one ... and the other, an absolute favourite of mine ... "Aviary" - mmmmm love it :o)!!!! And you get a free pattern for a super little bag made from the honey bun strips!!

Here's the delicious fabrics I bought ... the pink and the floral are from "Beach House" range (they're to go with the "Beach House" jelly roll I have) and the others are just random ones I liked the look of :o). Here's what I've been up to ... 30 pinwheel blocks!! These are all from the Portabella Market range - 3 sisters. I just love the rich colours.Don't forget to check out my "Dragonflight" pattern giveaway!!! You can still enter, just leave a comment on my blog before Saturday night at 8pm (Brisbane time). You can leave a comment on each blog entry this week, and if you'd like an extra entry post about it on your blog and link it back to my blog :o). Easy Peasy :o)!!!

Lovely mail and other stuff!!!

I've had some really fun mail this week!!! I thought you might like to see what's been arriving here in my patch :o).

First I'll show you my fabric ... I've had my eye on both of these ranges for a while ... particularly the Gypsy Rose ones - I don't know why it took me so long to buy this one cos it's soooo beautiful. I ended up buying them on ebay as I found some great 'package deals'.

The other one is Beach House ... it's gorgeous too ...I haven't decided yet what I'll be making from these ... I'll probably need a bit of time to just 'love them' first .... do you know what I mean LOL?? He he ... I bet you do :o).

I also got these fabulous books ... I ordered them from "Book Depository" last week and I just love them. The quilting one is a fabulous reference with some gorgeous patterns ... I'm trying to do more adventurous quilting and I thought this book might be handy ... loads of patterns and clear instructions. And of course the Tilda one is to die for ..... I LOVE it ..... How cute is this little mouse??!! I can't wait to make some of the gorgeous things in this book!!!

Lastly I received this yesterday from Norway. I was absolutely delighted!! It's a thank-you card from Laila's daughter Stine who recently had her little daughter Emma. I sent over a small gift to welcome her into the world and she sent me this gorgeous photo and card .... so chuffed ... isn't she a gorgeous baby!!!?! You can see more piccies of this adorable little girl at Laila's blog :o)!

Before I go ... here's a look at my new glasses .........Do you like them????? I'm still getting used to them, they're a bit stronger than my other ones ..... I must be getting old LOL!!!
