When we got the mail, there was this beautiful heart from Emiko. I had sent mine a while back, and she was behind, so I told her whenever she got to it. I promptly forgot. Yesterday, here it came! There was a little baggie of sparkley beads with it, and a lovely strip of lace, too.
Then, another surprise. A while back, I joined an international exchange group. We make something and send it to someone else on the list, just posting a note that something is flying off. This flew to my house!
Lots of the yummiest things inside, from a little hand-made pincushion (which will go right in the needlebook that
Wendy sent to me!) to the Humbug Bag (I always wanted one of them - just sounds so cute!) to a pin pattern and a pillow pattern for paper piecing. Best of all was a little tin of Bag Balm - mine's all out! It's all from
Marne, who was so thoughtful, she even sent the card with a crazy quilt on it! I'm just thrilled to receive this box!
Now, you want to know the funny part? I had a box almost ready to go to Marne! The deal is that we send back something within a month - no problem, as this was all but packed in the envelope! I hope she likes what she receives in return.
