Yesterday when I got home from work, I saw a pkg. sitting in my chair. It was from a dear online friend in Idaho. She knows I'm into beaded embroidery these days and last week she emailed me saying my 'bead ship' was in. She said she had more than enough to last two life times so would be sending me some of her stash. She mailed the pkg. Monday and yesterday (Wednesday) it was here. We were both surprised at that. I changed clothes, poured DH and I a glass of pre-dinner wine, and opened the pkg. and couldn't quit smiling and ooohing and aaahing over it all. I am thrilled and I am grateful for her gift. DH said your 'bead ship' definitely did come in. Here are pictures for those of you who are interested and can relate to my excitement and joy.
a quilter's pencil for drawing onto dark fabrics,
some thread winders,
and a beaded head piece.
I can hardly wait to get started with using them.
Here I sorted them into colors. Wow!
So, if you don't see me much, you'll know what I'm doing. :-) Plus, we're working on a screened room off the back of our little cottage, and I'm revamping the inside of my little 6'x8' shed, which is gardening, laundry and crafts. It is much warmer today than it has been. I am going to try to get some laundry washed and hung out, make a savory chicken pot pie, make more bread, hand water some plants, and see what else might come my way. Have a great day wherever you are, whatever you do. FlowerLady
