Emerging
I've been swamped this month with work and personal stuff so I haven't been able to blog, but I have managed to keep reading all your blogs! Although I've been a bit light on the comments. ;P
I have some people I need to thank!!
First of all, I owe a big thanks to Debbie at http://minnado.blogspot.fr/. She mailed me an awesome care package. I had admired one of her tins (I have a foible for tins) and she graciously gifted it to me, and filled it with goodies!
Check out this tinny loveliness:
And she included a lovely note and butterfly fabric!
AND, beautiful trimmings and lace:
It must be said that receiving the tinful of goodies brightened my whole week.
Plus one of my fellow-sewing class members brought us all back a keepsake from her Caribbean vacation. What else, fabric of course?!
Beautiful madras:
That's pretty much my exact favorite shade of green.
And, last but not least, it has been practically years since I was gifted with a Liebster Blog Award from one of my favorite blogs: The Making of an Urban Rustic.

I would like to pass it along to these 5 wonderful bloggers (all of whom have less than 200 followers, I believe!):
and to go full circle,
Please accept this token of bloggy love from me!
So, 5 things you may not know about me, as per the blog award guidelines:
1. Hearing Johnny Cash's American IV: The Man Comes Around album changed my life.
2. I am an equally terrible bowler and pool player.
3. I would like to learn to play the harp. I dunno why, seems cool.
4. Raspberry mochas were my gateway drug into the coffee world, some moons ago.
5. I kind of hate Ayn Rand and Ernest Hemingway's fiction. Sorry...but not really.
On a related note, I too, set up a Bloglovin' account to replace GoogleReader. You can see the icon on the upper right of the blog.
I hope everybody is having a wonderful weekend and I hope to get back to a more regular blogging schedule in April. Thanks for hanging in there! :)
Hi Donna! First of all, you are not alone. I don´t like Hemingway either :)
ReplyDeleteThat madras is Perfect!
And the Blog lovin thing is causing me a lot of stress. I´ll try to follow everyone in there!
Congratulations on your award...

DeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one re: Hemingway! ;)
DeleteOooh, those are some very nice gifts , maybe the lace and the madras cotton could play together?
ReplyDeleteI would love to play the harp as well too, actually - very cool instrument. I have some vague plans of buying a small one, we´ll see if that ever happens...
Good idea - mix the lace and the madras!
DeleteWow, what beautiful gifts! Aren't fellow seamstresses the coolest people?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteI've missed you.. welcome back :) Those are some absolutely lovely gifts. Fellow seamsters think of just the most perfect things, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI've set up in bloglovin too, but I think I'm still getting the hang of it all.
Thanks! I'm starting back slowly though! I haven't quite got the hang of bloglovin either...
DeleteOh, such pretty gifts! :) I love the colours of the madras!
