Numb, and Happy

I've been a good girl and behaved nicely at the dentist. To be honest, I was in such pain going in that anything would have been an improvement. Now I am numb faced and happy for it. But it does feel weird when I blink!

Thank you to everyone who left lovely comments yesterday saying they hoped the dental problem would be sorted today. I really appreciate it. As I haven't slept properly in about five days I am going to make this my round robin email thank you reply and move forward from here.

As a reward (I presume) for behaving so well at the dentist I came home to happy post. First package open was from Cindy at Fluffy Sheep. She had a discount code last week which I meant to blog about but apparently was too busy shopping to remember. Just looking at what I ordered makes me happy. The colours are so cheerful. I had noticed my solids were getting a little short on bright colours (or so I thought) and I always need more Auriful and DMC perle. Always.


The second package was from Rebecca - Making Rebecca Lynne - who organises the best fabric swaps. This time round it was low volume, but with a twist. Instead of charms she did 10" squares. We all bought two yards of fabric and in return got 36 different low volume fabrics back. And what a fabulous selection there was this round. Rebecca kept really tight rules on what we should buy and those rules produced the most amazing selection of fabrics.


Here are just three that make me grin.


In actual fact they all make me grin, but these ones stood out even more for me. Rebecca is a great quilter, and a lovely person, and - quite obviously from the above - an amazing organiser. Huge thank you to her for putting a lot of work into this swap.

  16. Glad to hear the dentist went well. I was there myself yesterday, but when I came home there weren't packages of fabric at my house waiting for me. I guess I wasn't a good girl. I did get reprimanded for not flossing enough.

    Love those low volumes -- what a great way to get lots of different fabrics. What will you do with them?
