On Gifts and Tea Towels.....

This week has been a good week.

The postman continues his mission to bring me gifts every single day with these three brilliant packages:

From Claire, my lovely Flickr Friend, at clumsy bird, a post parcel chock full of fabric bits, as part of a swap we devised quite some time ago.....



There is so much goodness in this parcel that my worktable could barely contain it:



Thanks so much Claire - I have so many plans for these gorgeous bits and pieces.....

Secondly, another swap from the always gorgeous Brooke.....

It's a sausage dog all of my own..... though not as cute as Moca, her real life sausage dog!



Though this little man doesn't need any walking, which is probably best for me! Thanks Brooke!

Then finally, I won a competition over at Bec's Blog, and she send me this brilliant parcel:



With the cutest bag she made, plus a brooch and some fabric goodness - thanks so much Bec, I love it!

As well as having the good present luck this week, the thrift gods smiled on me once again today, bestowing some Tea Towel Magnificence upon my humble self:



This one not only cracks me up, but seems to have been produced by a kindergarten in a country town, which also appeals to my sense of the absurd......!



And this one - even if it wasn't brilliant due to being the old ten dollar note for Australia, would still be brilliant just for the novelty value of drying the dishes with a big ole piece of money. ha!

Otherwise, I'm working on a few things in the background here, some of which I hope to show soon - the afore promised photos of clothing made, plus a wee bit of a shop venture - but at the moment I'm really busy taking photographs and getting ready for said venture, so I'll have some things to show soon.

Let's just say there'll be A LOT of fabric to be had. I'm drowning under mountains of it. Something has to be done!

More to come on that later - until then, my friends,
