an unexpected gift....

from a new face-to-face friend.  today denise was able to take time from her busy country life showing me around to some new-to-me shops.  it was cold but sunny and, more important, clear roads.  she and i just finished our "christmas wishes" flimsies and hers is soooo christmas-y with gorgeous green and red prints, like mine, but different of course.  she gifted me with these special items...the book, scissors, some FQs and her delish home-made jam!  i know what i'm having for breakfast tomorrow!  a yummy lunch was enjoyed with lots of girl chat and getting to know one another.  i got to see her adorable chickens as well.  we ended the day early afternoon to get ready for our coming blizzard, each with plans to get some sewing done while housebound, no doubt.  ****  now i'm making a quiche and cooking a pizza, foods that can be eaten at room temp should the need arise.  i might have to have my breakfast jam tonight just in case....

  1. That is a great book. What wonderful treasures you were gifted. Hope you maintain power through the storm so that you can sew while housebound

  2. Thanks you again for the magazines, I have skimmed the Australian Homespun and plan on digging deeper into it soon. Short of making a New Year's resolution I would like to follow the example of many of my blogging friends and use the things I have at least, hmmmmmm, maybe 50% of the time to start.
