but first coffee


OK, first yesterday's day of "play" was replaced by
rest and a bit of excitement..

Some very dear dear dear ladies came to my rescue
for the fabric...I will be making something with this
lovely collection...IN fact today, I am working on the 
design... Thank you sew sew much DawnMarie, Jane, and
Theresa. It looks like I will have enough to
quilt and stitch with my coffee(s).
( all of your packages are ready to be shipped today)
ohhhh wait till you see what I will be sending YOU
for your kindness)



and speaking of coffee....
This lovely mini
quilt, although not that small was created by
Dawn...( lot's of Dawns in my life lately)
 Ok, I am not someone who gets super
excited ( very often) but when my DH
brought home the mail yesterday,
I opened this delightful "SURPRISE" package....
and look....It seems we both are
pretty obsessed with coffee....
I almost fainted....no really,
my husband poured me a cup of brew
to revive me...I kept saying..
"OHHHHHH goodness me, its me..
in cartoon form...lol"

I don't make a habit of sharing
what lovely things are sent to me...
( and  trust me everything that is sent I cherish)
however when COFFEE is involved,
well I just lose myself....

Sew I wanted to share with you this morning
how one lovely gesture stirred my heart...

Ok, I think my inspiration, creativity is back...
thanks to some pretty amazing women in my world.

Isn't that what it is all about....
I am spinning lol
