I need to let you know about my delightful surprise when I came home from work tonight. You know, a busy day in the CCU, a cardiac tampanade patient, very ill, went for emergency surgery, etc. I came home, and my DH said, "you have a package!" How fun! I opened it, and in each layer of pretty wrap, there were chocolate candy kisses! Yum!!! This just added to the fun! I won a give-away! See above, the lovely fabric bouquet? Made of all gorgeous fabrics, and a lovely fabric greenery bottom. This is the lovely creation of Sandi A. at http://www.alegacyofstitches.blogspot.com/. How kind of her, and how lucky of me to win. It is much too pretty to take apart and use for fabric...I must admire this one for a long while!
Want one? Well, I will share! Yummy good for Valentines day!!
Guess what else was in the package? Hearty fabrics! Not only lovely in themselves, but each piece carefully pressed and folded beautifully. Not a crease in them! Lots of loving effort went into this package, and I want Sandi to know...I appreciate the lovely gift and her so very much!
Now for a yucky picture of a cute project. These are tiny little flower pots, about 59 cents at the hardware store. Inside is a bit of filler, and a pretty piece of fabric covering it. Making a little pin cushion! For my quilting buddies at work. Simple but cute, I think. I have no idea where I saw this idea...Have a wonderful day all! Thank you for allowing me to share my fun news of the day!!

Those are the best kind of roses! They don't die and they can be used. They are beautiful! Fabulous little package. Is the chocolate all gone yet?

Hi Julie,
I am strolling blogs tonight and thought, I'll pop over to Julie's blog and wow, what a nice post you did about the rose bouquet!! I am so glad you liked it!! I loved doing it!!!
Wow the bouquet of fabrics looks wonderful! You sure are one lucky girl! The idea of using small flowerpots to make pincushions is great- they look so cute!
Happy valentines day :-)
Wow! I love that fabric bouquet, Julie. I am so happy for you to come to this after such a day. And the fabric that was folded with such care - that's really thoughtful. And I have to admit I too love those little pincushions. How neat! I think maybe even I could do that. Maybe... Oh my friend, I do hope you're off this weekend and that you can sew some and do whatever you please!
