Mailbox Overflow

Swap Goodies

plus RAK's from Sharon

(our 3rd anniversary swap in AAPG)


this shot includes the stapler and staples...

gave me a total fit of laughter


when I was getting my latest booklets

together I couldn't find my good stapler

then broke the little cheap one

so ended up making do with paper clips



without the stapler!

lots of wool, floss and some sweet muslin from Moda

plus a piece of coverlet

( I saw it - shared on eBay about it...

someone bought it first)


the three ornies are perfection...

again

many thanks Sharon

this was a total surprise

from Doris

using a Primitive Bettys pattern


since the heat has really gotten to me

this summer I've been praying

for some snow...


Doris did the next best thing

thanks a bunch Doris...

I'm putting it in the sewing room

on the design wall so

I can think cool thoughts...


~~As for the cats~~



the other day Olivia was minding

her own business

checking out the vent to see

if she could wish some colder air

out of it


along comes Melrose

a little tussle ensues

with his fur ending up all

over the floor again

do you like how he's trying

to look cool and blameless


Olivia heads for cover

under the safest spot in the living room

as you can tell from the fur

on the floor in front of her

Melrose is always getting a smack

(don't feel bad for him

he's asking for it where she's concerned)

Sharon really made some beautiful pieces, love that cat pin cushion. I have seen antiques like that and wanted to try some, love how she did hers.

Oh lalalala wonderful package from Sharon - are you sure she didn't mean to send it to PA? Hmmmmm? Oh the kitties - good to see them - isn't it something how they get their tails in a knot over each other sometimes!
