With all the rain last week the mail man didn't visit.........so no mail all week..........when I went into town on Friday there was a pile............parcels, junk mail, letters.............

first up the pincushion BOM..........this month Melly and Me - Sarah was a little late this month as she was waiting for some part of the kit to arrive..........not a problem she sent us an email to let us know about the delay.......love the fabrics.........

and this is the pincushion topper that came this month........I may be in love with these cute things.........

Then Jacquie (Tallgrass Prairie Studio) sent me this little quilt..............it is tiny and so very cute I have loved these since I first saw them on her blog..........

Teodo Appunti Patch sent me some SSCS cards and some xmas fabric........perfect timing as I don't have much I can find and I planned a project on Friday before I got the mail...........saved by the mail...........(by the way her dh thinks she has completely lost the plot finding little birds in fruit scraps but hey I am with her)

see the little angel....cute...

Then a huge apology to Stephanie - Loft Creations for my email..........have you ever sent an email to the wrong person............it's okay she fumbled along with the replies (probably though I had lost the plot) anyway she sent me this wonderful package.........yep more chooks........I love them........I chook bag...(containing football to fill for shot so quite a good size)....see that cute little chicken near the bottom of the bag...........Thank Stephanie.............

this little Bareroots pattern...........cute little chickens.....

and some more chooky fabric...........blue and chooks what more could I ask for..........

Take care til next time...........Chookyblue...........

Sabotage.........

I am sure this post has been sabotaged............I finally got around to taking some pics..............then the power went off for the day ( yep me and the family at home again due to the rain and NO POWER)..............then when I finally got back onto the computer the email was playing up and as i email all my posts to the blog I couldn't do the post...............

....but you know what it is like when you have no power..............
I had all these plans to do stuff and the power went off and didn't come
back on for most of the day.........yep you guessed it everything I wanted
to do required power.........it will have to go off again to fix it as it is
too wet for the electricity men to get there truck etc into the
area............ so down the creek we went.......a few tyre tubes and a boggie board (great in table drains and creeek as well as the surf)......did I get in.........like hell it wasn't "that" warm.........

But finally the goodies I received in the mail last week when things were pretty hectic...........I brought these lovely fabrics from the Provincial Patch and as one of the early newest customers I received a bonus fat quarter.............thanks heaps Kerri and Julie..........good luck with your new venture...........I can recommend these girls for good services.............they have some beautiful stock in the shop........... nice chat to Kerri............can we that again sometime.............

I got some great mail from Paradise........she sent me a belated birthday present and a PIF ...............not sure which is which as I opened them to quickly but I love it all.........this pillow is Leanne Beasley design from "Girls Day in the Country"....and you know how much I love chooks especially blue ones...............

continuing on from the chooky theme this bag has chooks printed all aver it............and a little sunglasses case inside too..........

then some fab fat quarters...............I am sooooo spoilt....................and my fav colour...........

this is what the sky has looked like most of the week............very very very unusual for my part of the world..............so I enjoy it while I can BUT could not live with it all the time.............give me the sun...........

and while I was trying to take the pics above this little bug ran across the table............so colourful and bright and hard to catch as it would not stay still.......

Now an update on the SSCS..............parcels have been received by Levin and Karol Ann (who is have a huge problem not opening her present............lol............)

good mail week.........

Oh I love the mailman……….he only delivers mail twice a week but today was pretty good………..these amazing little girls came from the Ric Rac………….man is she one talented blog buddy………..they are so cute…………not sure if they will say something naughty or nice……….nice card tooo.......(management approves)

Then the Pincushion of the month organised by Sarah at Quilt Fabric Delights was tempting me for weeks and weeks since she first blogged about it………….last week I gave into the pressures………..and look what turned up in my mail box this week…………my first pincushion………..

Also in the mail today was this new card………..more markets next weekend........

My birthday finally ended this week………….someone told me you birthday went as long as you got presents………….this parcel was supposed to be here 4 weeks ago but the delivery people don’t deliver parcels in my area so I thought it was lost and finally (after some detective work) discovered it sitting in a depot in town ………….in the mean time the wonder ladies at Aussie Patches have sent out another one……..(still lost)……….no this is the wonderful ruler that I told you all about on the “New Inventors” (aussie show) and after it was on it won the people’s choice award the next week.…………dh organised it secretly…………he did good………

SSCS update…………..have you seen this……………I was in shock……Santa is so organised………..done, wrapped and ready to send…………..wonder where in blogland it will be delivered…………to many countries to choose from……….she even printed the logo and popped it onto the presents……..way to go Lyn…….she even made litttle tags with the logo........

Also thanks for the visits to the new blog…………the snappy friends have got quite a few posts up now………head on over.............

Take care til next time......

.........Chookyblue..............
