Parcels In The Post

Well, on the house front we now have 3 rooms ready, 4 coats of paint on the bathroom ceiling was a nightmare and a pain on the shoulders, but it looks lovely now. Milo's and Baby G's rooms are ready too. I've also managed to do some quilting, but I'm saving that for later.

Now , thanks to my lovely Post lady , who even stopped her car to give me a parcel when she saw me walking down the street, I recieved 3 parcels this week.
The first one was this lovely card purse from Sew Christine, which I won on her giveaway. Thanks Christine.



Secondly was from Lina, can you believe I won another giveaway.. I felt so lucky when you consider I am one of those people who never win anything.
This lovely little quilt, a small bottle of Maple syrup and some Maple candy sweets shaped like Maple leaves-- very yummy. Thanks Lina.




My photographs really are rubbish.

Lastly, Hub said I could get a few bits and pieces but these will have to last me a while so from Dungarees and Daisies I bought these



and these


and these


You will notice they all kind of go together , with some other FQ's that I already had as I do have a project in mind. I'm really liking the Moda dots at the minute.


I couldn't resist this , have no idea what I'm going to do with it though


and I got this from Buttonberry


So that's my parcel loot.

Milo and I made some cakes too, unfortunately from a box mix that had been sitting in the cupboard for a while and the camera batteries went before I could take a pic of the finished
product!


but you get the idea.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

What great prizes you won! They are both beautiful. I know what you mean about painting your house. We moved into ours 3 years ago and have done so many renovations. We get tired and take loooong breaks. We're hoping to finish most of it up this summer. Milo is so cute!

It is really exciting to win a giveaway, even more so winning two! I like the material you have treated yourself to, I spy some lovely heart patterns there. I also like your purchase from Buttonberry, I have saved this site as a favourite, I am going to enjoy having a browse around this one, thanks Lisa for linking to it. Milo was having good fun with that cake mix, he looks like he has the makings of a master baker! x

Wow lovely little things to win! Congratulations. And as for that fabric ... yum! I really love red & blue!But I particularly love the little butterflies! I hate painting! Poor you!

That psychedelic butterfly fabric reminded me of the car I had in 1972. It was a sky blue Wolsey Hornet (about the size of a mini). From the art and craft shop I bought a pair of stick-on hippos about 8" long and I stuck them on the 2 doors. They were covered in psychedelic flowers and maybe even butterflies (can't remember now), and were so similar to your fabric.

Thanks for giving me that blast from the past. I've had a wonderful time reminiscing. If only I had a photograph!

A bit late catching up but glad you got it all! So, tell me. Did you try the maple syrup yet?! Not everyone's cup of tea I find!

What wonderful mail - it must have been like Christmas in your household! Good luck with the painting and getting organised for the move.
