Mail Call Monday - The Case of the Unexpected Squishy

Welcome to another edition of Mail Call Monday!! I got a squishy in last week's mail. The package contained a gift from a friend. It was TOTALLY unexpected!

We converse regularly on Ravelry. We did a handmade swap earlier this year. However, we don't normally exchange Holiday gifts. That's why the arrival of this package was such a surprise:

What did you get, Joyful???

EARRINGS!!

Not just ANY earrings... YARN EARRINGS!!! (I'm a knitter, too.)

They are TOO cute:

LOOK!!! They match/coordinate perfectly with one of my favorite quilted jackets:

Thanks B!! They are just like the ones that I saw at SAFF, only these are MORE special because they came from YOU!!!

Until next time...
Good things come in small packages!!!

Welcome

I'm SO glad that you stopped by to see what I've been working on! My blog was started at the request of some Ravelry friends. We were starting a UFO Club and they wanted to be able to see the projects on my list.

Each term, I'll post "The List", along with pictures of new additions. Subsequent posts will show the progress I've made and any quilts that I complete. Hopefully, you'll enjoy reading a little about these projects, too.

From time to time, I may post additional works here, too. Feel free to comment. I'd be happy to hear from YOU. If you would like to follow my blog by email, scroll down to the bottom of the page. The link is in my sidebar right before the archives.

Thanks for visiting and have a quilty day!
