My heart is still singing.....(o:

Thank you Cori......I luv it!!!!

This beautiful plant and subscription to 'taste of home'

was delivered to my door this week.

The door bell rang...it doesn't ring very often at my house...99.9% of the time

it is someone trying to sell me something...so 99.9% of the time

I ignore the door bell...well this time he/she was persistent...

rang the door bell again...still I didn't answer the door...

I was still in my pj's and it was after lunch.

(luv those pj's days)

I know I should have been showered, dressed and out the door by now.

OK...I now decide to get in the shower and the phone rings...

by the time I throw on my robe and I find the phone...

they hang up...I redial the number.

He is still in my driveway and says he has a delivery.

I say...can you wait one minute please...sure...quickly I throw on my clothes

and he is standing on my front porch...a floral delivery...

I say....who would be sending me flowers....I can't image who it would be....

I sign the delivery board...yep it's my name on the board...

He says...there is a card inside...

...last week I did a favor for my friend Cori...

...she was in New York to watch her son march in the

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.

...what an honor for her son and a proud Mom to watch him...

Cori has an online quilt shop Crazyquiltgirl..... and while she was away

I was filling the orders....manning the shop so to speak....

....being the holidays and just before Christmas

it was not a good time to have to close her shop and

I asked her if she thought I would be able to do the shipping....

...she has patience to spare and the confidence in me that

I didn't think I had.

I was thrilled to be able to help her...

it was a good week.

Thank you Cori

you are a wonderful friend

the best of the best!!!

Touched by an Angel from Australia....

...lookie lookie what arrived in the mail from Karen....she is the sweetest. Her blog is Sunburnt Quilts, please go and visit, she likes stitchery, teddy bears, angels just like me.  Don't forget to say Hi!.... I'd mentioned to Karen awhile ago that I was looking for 'Angel in Disguise' patterns and they are hard to find.   Karen found 'Tea with Ted', one I was looking for and she had 'Angels Stitcheries' that she said she had made a couple of times and no longer needed so she sent her pattern to me....blogging friends are the best!!!! I love the patterns Karen....thank bunches.



'Angels in Disguise' patterns....are or were....designed by 3 Australian ladies and that is about all I know of them. Not sure what has happened with them, and I just tried their website and it says "This account has been suspended". They did have a lot of patterns....Santas, Angels, Teddy Bears etc.... on their website but were wholesale only.  They had a pattern called "Teddy Bear Picnic' so so cute.   I did a lot of web searching and found Cathron Country Designs  and Cathron Country .  Cath is one of the three ladies.   The other two ladies are Colleen and Julie. Check out Cath's blog...she has some free stitchery patterns....I luv her dolls too.

A surprise from Australia.......

........ I have been  blogging for about 7 months 

and without a doubt I have met

sEw many amazing, talented and generous ladies I can call friends. 

I received a surprise gift from Karen in Australia.   

Karen surprised me this week with this sweet snowlady, Christmas ornament and a hand written card.

  

I am a collector of many things other than fabric...

and I have a new addition to my snowmen/snowladies collection.

I love her red hair....
Thank you Karen,
I can't help but smile every time I look at her smiling face.....
she does have a contagious smile.
