Yummy Mail Day! WOOHOO!

Oh my.  I was just reading a friend's blog and she reminded us how soon it will before Christmas is here.   I have yet to begin making any of my gifts.  It's funny....it DOES come on the exact same date every year.  It never changes.  It looks like by now I would realize this and get busy in advance, which I always say I'm going to do.  *sigh*
"The road is paved...." as they say.  So today I'm working on making a list of some of the things I need to get done.

I had a good mail day today.  I received the BOM that I'm doing from Fat Quarter Shop YAY and also received three books that I had ordered from Amazon.  I ADORE anything by Blackbird Designs.  I also do counted cross stitch and have all of their pattern books.  Love. Them.  I didn't have any of their quilting books (didn't know there WERE any??  how did that happen?), so when I found them, I had to have some.  I only got two, but will be putting the rest on my wish list. These are the ones that I got:




Then I had to add the newest Schnibbles book, too.  I love Schnibbles and this one was calling my name big time.

I love my books.  I can grab a pile of them or my quilting magazines, curl up in my chair with a diet coke or cup of coffee (usually coffee!) and sit there and make all sorts of plans of what I want to make.  Are any of you like that, too?  I just love it.  I do that with my cross stitch, too.  Sometimes when I'm just not in the mood to sew or stitch, I'll sit and dream about what I want to do next, or make a LONGGGGG list!  LOL

So, I have not yet looked at these since I just grabbed them from the mailman.  It's time to make a cup of coffee, curl up in my chair and have a good ole' time.  They are totally calling my name!

Thank you for stopping by.  I so enjoy it when you visit.  Maybe next time I'll have some brownies to offer you!  Come back soon!

Hugs,

A good mail day always relieves funkiness. I think it is scientific :)

Love the BBD quilt books!

OOoooo - I do that too! It's just as much fun making the plans as it is making the projects. Especially when there is coffee and chocolate to enjoy while doing so!!!

Have fun browsing your books!

I used to make lists for my children. Now I just give them money for their children! My 4 grandchildren are 9,8,7,3, so money is accepted especially since I don't know what they want. I love quilt books too. Caroline I really like your blog. I'm so glad I receive emails from you. Thank you for taking the time to make my day.
