Mail Bag!

Here she is!
The winner of the mama's collection First Ever Giveaway Bag Extravaganza!!!
Got this in my email yesterday with a lovely note:

....' the bag is already one of those items that just makes me happy to see it....!'

My Goal!! To share the comfort and fun of creating! Enjoy! (Psalm 92:4) Thank you God!!

Then I got this note as well:

....Wow, what a fun batch of burp cloths! We've enjoyed going over the details (pretty ones, I might add) of each one! I detect a theme- yellow, turquoise, sky, flowers, and personal homey touches -lace, initialing and oh, so feminine-- I love it!......

Imagine a new mom of a five day old little girl, having the presence of mind and TIME to thank me for the gift that she received less than 8 hours before....Wow...I am humbled and impressed! Thank you, Rachel, for the gift of new life......

Then this morning:

...."Gracie just went down to take her first nap of the day...and I tried to use another blanket to wrap her in (wanted to wash the Nana quilt to bring to Chicago) but she cried and wailed and screamed until I wrapped her in her Nana quilt and she rubbed her cheek on it and fell asleep as I was humming. She has a very, very strong connection to this blanket ....just like her Nana......'

Sigh..

Dare you even ask what I am thankful for this week?
Thank you Lord.....The Author of it all.......

Day Three of Giveaway Week!

Well now.
What do we have here?
Looks like a pretty dandy shell of a potential Giveaway Bag, eh?
Gotta confess, couldn't work too much on it today.
Lotsa spoofin today. Hubby off and all.
But my mind keeps going there and improvements are being made all the time!
Just wait!

One spoofin trip involved fabric shopping.
Hubby's idea.
Yeah, you heard me right.
And not just any trip to JoAnne's.
No, no. This in Southern Indiana and our fabric stores find themselves in far away spots with county roads involved.
For instance: The Fabric Hideaway in rural, rural Haysville.
You have to depend on their large signs and mileage markers to get there.
But you're glad you traveled there and persisted.
Large new barn on this family's property, housing an amazing amount of all kinds of fabric and some limited notions. When I asked, 'Do you carry any interfacing?' Her quick hopeful answer was, 'Not Yet!!'

You really must go to www.fabrichideaway.com. If you're enticed to order a new bag, it takes one yard for most bags; more for totes.....:D

Yeah, that 's what I'm talking about!

AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND IN THIS FARAWAY FABRIC MECCA?
YELLOW BUTTER SOFT SUEDE!!!!
Oh yeah! I'm talking wonderfully soft and sooooooooo good...
The mind is zooming ahead on plans for that beauty...!
I would love for it to be the first bag on my COMING SOON Etsy shop!!

You really must stayed tune, no?
