Forgot to post my weekly update post on Sunday evening…. I was reading a book – not a particularly good book, just a thiller mystery type book. I’m a fast reader and I often like to read this type of book cover to cover in one sitting. So I spent about 4 1/2 hours reading this book yesterday and forgot all about my post….

loosing yourself in a good book can be a wonderful thing... and then getting a post that makes you come back to reality in a WONDERFUL way is just about the best feeling xx
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm impressed, says the world's slowest reader. Nice little goodies too.
ReplyDeleteGreat reader.... The new book looks good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bunch of mail you received.
Warm days around 0 degrees! Are you kidding? We have been having 48 degree days and after enjoying 78 degree days last week, I'm so cold. What a wimp I am!
ReplyDeleteLovely gifts you won. Your fugly fabric doesn't look bad, your hexie flowers are beautiful. Keep warm!
I love the mini quilt with the texture magic tree. The recipient will adore it--I wish it was for me! hint, hint...
ReplyDeleteAnd you can have this wet weather. Give me June!!!! :-)
PS--you must have had a great teacher in your class to help you make such a good tree. :-) :-) :-)
Deletelots of loveliness on show in this post
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by the tree... I have seen the stuff you used but have not bought it or used... neat idea using it for the tree... was also wondering about Mary...but I think the swap is supposed to be in April but we should have started signing up by now... maybe next week... I am still cutting out... did some more cutting yesterday and dont have too much more to cut... just have to look in my stash...have a great day
