...Sometimes, A Mailbox Holds a Box of Sunshine!




A while ago, I posted for a chance of a giveaway at one of the blogger's site. I was the lucky gal whose name/ number that was randomly chosen. Aileen's Wicked Tats sure has put a lot of goodies into one box! It was filled up to the brim, as they say. There were so much goodies that I had to separate them into smaller groups for pictures! This also includes the backdrop fabric that I used! 



A cute pink piggy pouch (like a coin purse), very sharp pair of scissor, a clever pouch (dotted one, a square pot holder folded in half and stitched on side and bottom). Isn't the fabric colorful and pretty!






The yellow bear face is a retractable tape measure, press the nose and it retracts the tape! 
The green round gingham is a cute pin-keep, lid flips to reveal pincushion and enough space for holding sewing stuff with in it, the red thingy is a knitty bob thing-a-ma-jig (remember the wooden spools with little nails in circle and you made a knitted tube?) It is like that with three different tops that allows for different thickness! Wow.. that was more than my knitty bob could do!.






Two packages of eye/ needle threader! An adorable handmade pouch with a tatted humming bird on the flap. The sharp scissors fit perfectly in this!! Bonus!! A decorated shuttle that Aileen did! Love the Spring colors of it! A packet of floss winders in several colors! Then the "hook on clip" retractable holder thing-a-ma-jig 






Little baggies of treasures! Beads, Rings, Sequins, Beads, Beads, plastic colorful straws (what would one do with those?) Beads and more beads! Oh, did I mention the back drop fabric?






A spool of thread in the palest pastel! It is soooooo pretty and sweet! A roll of black satin ribbon, and lots of samples of colorful threads I am so tickled! Oh! One more thing.. that is a gorgeous piece of fabric which I used as a back drop.. convenient huh?




This lovely sunshine came all the way from Singapore!
I am thankful for it and all the treasures.
Thank You Aileen!

I have read almost everything at Plaid's site, maker of Mod Podge and I cannot firmly say that it doesn't yellow. I read quite a few things that said it doesn't yellow.. but cannot confirm to the actual product that I used.

...No One Thinks About Appendix

Image
...Until an occasion brings that word forward again. The last time that I even thought or discussed about appendix was nearly forty years ago at high school! We kids would know of someone who had been out of school for a brief period and wondered ..where's Johnny? Then he would show back up showing off his scar of courage for getting his appendix out. We would think that was kewl. I don't know about you but all I knew about the appendix then and before last week was it was located somewhere in the lower right region of the stomach area. That was it!  Okay, time for a bit of education! ap·pen·dix /əˈpendiks/ Noun 1. A tube-shaped sac attached to and opening into the lower end of the large intestine in humans and some other mammals (I had just  googled this to see what it looked like...ewww and odd) next word:  ap·pen·di·ci·tis /əˌpendəˈsītis/ Noun:  A serious medical condition in which the appendix becomes inflamed and painful (...

...To Chain or Not To Chain!

Image
I have been tatting my heart out since the Palmetto Tatting Guild's Tat Days this past year. I have come a long ways since. I have researched on tattings and tried many patterns... I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi...
