Thank you Marilyn

OMG it feels like my birthday is living on....I received some lovely goodies from my good friend Marilyn in Long Beach CA.....Marilyn really is a wonderful friend. Glen and I stayed with her on both our trips to the States....she picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. She took us around Hollywood and her neck of the woods. She truly is as treasured friend. Anyway....look at my goodies. She sent me some oil cloth so I could make some totes and lunch sacks.



I cant seem to find it here in Oz. So now I will give them a go...can't wait. She also made me George the Cup Warmer. I was idolising him when I saw a free pattern over at Alejandra's blog but am not really a knitter. So she whipped one up for me. I am impressed. And he will be coming with me tomorrow as I am heading to the Quilt and Craft Show in Adelaide with some new friends I have made here....woohooo....so excited.



On top of that she also sent me a chicken pincushion. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends....THANK YOU Marilyn.
