Today was a GREAT day! Any day that I come home to find a package with my name on it on my front porch is a great day! Inside the box was this beautiful Valentine pillow - handmade by my friend in Sacramento!
Joni is my oldest friend, or I should say the friend I've had the longest since she is 9 months younger than me - we've known each other since 7th grade - and she still looks very much the same! She's still tall and thin and beautiful and immensley talented - in fact, there is nothing she can't do except sweat - because since she is allergic to exercise she never does. Joni sent me this darling pillow made with vintage-esque Valentine fabric...how fun to be me and have a friend like her!
Ten minutes after opening Joni's package the doorbell rang and it was the Fed-Ex guy - he handed me a box - two in one day! I'm telling you, things are looking up! I might have to get off of here and go buy lottery tickets! I opened this box to find 3 books I ordered and had forgotten about...I can't wait to dive into them! (So much for my New Year's resolution to not buy any more cookbooks!)
This last picture is a shot of the fabulous yarns I purchased with my daughter...the mother of my grandbaby...she was here for the weekend and I'm glad she's gone - one more day and I would have had to file bankruptcy! Being a grandma is WAY more expensive that I had imagined! We were in a fabric store and I saw a little boy who was wearing the cutest knit pants. I asked his mom about them and she said she whipped them up in a weekend and they were "so easy a beginner could make them"....really? Well, we'll see....my grandson needs a pair of those knitted pants....Being a grandma is also WAY more work that I thought too!
