The Birthday That Keeps On Giving

My best friend - the one who makes the most fantastic cakes with the girls because she is a professional cake decorator - gave me a gift certificate to Fluffy Sheep for my birthday. Isn't she the best?! So I spent some of it on pieces of fabric I coveted but didn't have a purpose for, yet.

Here's what I got.


Donkeys and wellies. Donkeys in wellies. Need I say anything else. Honestly these are a necessity because they make me smile.


Melody Miller because I could and I did, and it is mine all mine. Besides, I never had the typewriters when everyone else did and I was dead jealous. If you don't have typewriters, Cindy still has some in stock. I left some for you. Because I am nice like that. Not that I am nice enough to share my own. Uh-uh, no way.


I have also been in complete envy of everyone who has been embroidering these houses. I am a complete copycat and I have bought this fabric and come away on holiday with it. And a few accessories.


Also pictured is a lovely piece of fabric sent to me by Sarah that is calling out for embroidery too. You will have to stay tuned to see if I actually accomplished anything while away other than relax.

    Oh, I love your new fabric, especially the piece from Sarah! Have fun embroidering in the sun! (Fingers firmly crossed that it's been as sunny up the coast as it has here!)
