Friends

I was taken back today. Stunned really.
This is the shortened version.......
My neighbor K. called to ask me what the good online shops were for getting threads. She needed some she said to finish a UFO. I couldn't remember which thread it was but I do remember it was one that you can't get around here. So I told her, with rates for shipping and such.
She then called to to tell me she emailed me with a list of what she was getting and that I could add on something and pay her back if I wanted. I said I would take a look and shop around more online for her once I saw what she was after- never know what deals I can find for her!
Hours later I got to my email to have a peek and couldn't see her email anywhere! Just as I was about to check my junk folder, then call her if still not there, I recognized the ABCStitch email addy. In the subject was a message about a gift certificate.
Oh, my. I couldn't believe it. She had really tricked me. Whoah.
She didn't have to really.
*blush

so here I am - all misty eyed.
Thank you K.

Goodies for me and others

And here we are. A pic of the lovelies! One item is missing (it's an RAK, so it will be pictured at a later date). Several of the Kreiniks and beads are going to my floss kid Anne R . The others are going to someone else- to right a wrong. The book, patterns (Sitting Pretty and The Blues, by Valerie Pfeiffer) and one card of the Wisper is mine, all mine!

Why today?

I opened my mailbox to a two pound envelope from ABC Stitch. And another smaller envelope from Silkweaver. And, somehow, my heart didn't flutter with stash happiness. Merely, my thoughts were too consumed with details like emptying the van of the groceries, and getting dinner started.
Yes, it was a a bad, bad day.
When I am more "myself" tomorrow, I may get to a better place and take some pics.
I won't be home alone tomorrow, DD is sick. Her fever when I got back was about 102, down a degree or so thanks to DH. So I'll have a little camper on the couch.
