Day 44 of 2024

Congratulations to Summer Lee on the release of her first book. 

I love her sock patterns and 

my preorder arrived a day early. 

 

Day 11 of 2023

It's another happy mail day.

 

Day 5 of 2023

My stamps that were ordered almost four weeks ago finally arrived. 

If you normally get a Christmas card from me,

 this is why it hasn't arrived yet. 

 

Day 314 of 2022

New yarn arrived today. 

This is incentive to get those green socks done 

so I can dream up what kind of socks this will become. 

This is a fairly new yarn dyer and she has lovely stuff in her shop. 

If you are a knitter, go check her out.

 

Day 298 of 2022

A box came yesterday which neither Fireball or I had any idea of its contents. 

It was addressed to him so he opened it and said, " Oh, it's for you." 

I guess the packaging was not as he expected. 

I told him I would have to find some books to put between the bookends 

but that the machine would certainly get longer. 

He said that's when it becomes a longarm.

 

Day 105 of 2022

It was a happy mail day. 

I got the sweetest letter from GB#1

 which included some origami that she thought I'd like. 

It's a raincoat.

 

Day 103 of 2022

A couple days ago, before the last minute trip out of town, 

I received some happy mail. 

I thought this pattern was so cute 

and can see many opportunities for using these letters. 

I also love that there was a preorder option of a spiral bound copy.

Day 21 of 2022

It's Happy Mail day. 

I may have started a fabric pull for this also.

 

Day 130 of 2021

Happy Mail.

I have just participated in a fabric swap through Instagram for the first time.

My package arrived today and I could not be more excited.

 

Day 77 of 2021

Yesterday was happy mail day. 

I received this beautiful calendar and cookbook 

with the sweetest note on the postcard. 

If you don't know about Farm-ily, 

go check out her blog or find her on Instagram. 

Her photographs are beyond beautiful. 

Thank you, Lynda.

 

Day 20 of 2021

Fireball and I received some happy mail from GB#1 today. 

It is always fun to see what she has sent. 

Today's letters did not disappoint.

 

Day 217 of 2020

My last prize from the Mugs Sew Along has arrived. 

This beautiful box of thread is from Aurifil.

Day 191 of 2020

Another Sew Along prize arrived today. 

I can't wait to try it.

Day 189 of 2020

Yesterday happy mail arrived. 

Here is the majority of my winning prize package. 

There are so many wonderful things here. 

It includes patterns, tools, fabric, a book, a wool pressing mat 

and a big project bag. 

I am so excited I want to use it all and make it all right now. 

A huge thanks goes out to all who donated these prizes. 

I will tag them all on my Instagram account when I get that all figured out.

Day 160 of 2020

I think I've mentioned here before that I like to listen to books. 

I may have mentioned that I am also a fan of all things Rifle Paper Co.

For Christmas Fireball received a pair of AirPods. 

They sat on his desk unopened for months. 

I finally asked if I could try them out to which he heartily agreed.  

I love them and have probably used them every day since, 

so when I saw that Rifle Paper Co. had a case for them I was smitten.  

Later when the case went on sale I ordered it. 

Today I received my Happy Mail 

and I guess I can officially call the AirPods mine.

Day 53 of 2020

Fireball and I got the sweetest Valentines from GB#1 yesterday. 

What a happy mail day!

Day 42 of 2020

A few days ago Little E let me know she was having a package sent to the house.  

There would be "some assembly required." 

Well, she actually ordered two somethings, one for me and one for her. 

When I got the package yesterday, I understood. 

How cute is that sheep fabric?! 

Since she has no sewing machine at home at this time, 

one will be for me and one for her. 

The pattern says "1 Hour" so I will be making two baskets this week.  

I will be sure to post pictures. 

Day 34 of 2020

It's laundry day and I got happy mail. 

That means you'll find me folding towels and reading new patterns. 

All patterns are from Cluck Cluck Sew. 

L to R:  Brightly, Jelly Weave, Clover

Day 330 of 2019

Happy Mail arrived over the weekend. 

I won this lovely book in an Instagram giveaway. 

I am over the moon about it. 

The quilts are lovely as all the patterns from Vanessa Goertzen. 

I can't wait to get started.

Day 320 of 2019

A few weeks ago I helped a girl out with some fabric that I had in my stash 

that she needed for a quilt she is making.  

In return she sent me these lovelies.  

The fabrics are so good. 

The card and pin are such unexpected extras.  Thank you, Elisabeth.
