On December 4th, 2012 my friend Mary Ann who lives in Texas popped a little parcel in the mail. It was a Christmas gift. It never came and it never came and Mary Ann was ready to start another to replace it. I told her to wait. I was so angry one month later I posted on Facebook on both the USPS and CPS sites about their lousy delivery service.
On Monday, January 28th, Karl asked if I had bought some fabric on line. I said no and he said there is a parcel for you. Boy, did I boot it to the front door. Inside was this wonderful wall hanging.
Mary Ann and I having a cup of tea on the sofa with wee Miss Misty wandering by. Each of those squares measures a whopping 1”. How many are there? I have no idea. It is beautiful and it has a place of honour in my upstairs sewing room. Thank you Mary Ann.
Then on Tuesday, January 29th, I went over to Robin’s to pick up a quilt and drop two off. Way back the beginning of January Robin posted on Facebook about “paying it forward.”
I said I would join in and she had my little gift for me. It’s my favourite spray starch. I love this stuff and it is just the best at getting wrinkles out of fabric. That was my luck and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
And yes, that is my Anne of Green Gables doll,
purchased on the Island where she resided. She has red hair, she is dressed in a green dress and her name is Ann with an Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Well our luck ran out. We woke up to a winter snowstorm. It is beautiful outside my door this morning.
A Texas low met an Alberta clipper and here she is.
