Technically this was happy mail yesterday, but I wanted to write that list before I freaked out completely forgot it!
Anywho, the first thing I opened was my 2nd parcel from the Mug Rug and Goodie Swap (bad little blogger, so desperate was I to see what had come I didn’t take a photo of the wrapped items, sorry!) I got this lovely wee mug rug with the most amazing tiny pebble quilting, a pin cushion to match, and a little hexie needle book that may end up in my embroidery bumf to hold all those needles separate from the ‘normal’ needles (dare I admit that I found myself happily sewing bits onto a bear with a bent needle last night?!) Wendy also sent me 3 postcards from Alabama (which I have actually been to, at least as far as Huntsville, where I had my first IHOP experience)
My 2nd parcel I’d totally forgotten about – this is what I bought with my $25 gift certificate for My Little Sunshine Handmade that I won at Craft Buds during their recent Book Month. For those trying to work out what these are, through my awful photography, it’s 2 headbands made from elastic lace and fabric flowers (check out Ashley’s link above, her photos show them off better)
I’m going to add a tab for my list to the blog, not least because I remembered a few more things I have to do in the new year…
It's always fun getting a parcel – and you have received some lovely things!

They are all gorgeous gifts. Lucky you!
Great goodies, worth the wait. One of my partners just got her parcel this week, she is in Canada, so slow…
Awesome! Wendy makes the most beautiful things! I'm so glad you're happy.
What did you have at IHOP? DO you remember? They make these chocolate chip pancakes that are fantastic, but make you sick, but are so fantastic you can't resist….
Ah hah, I see your new tab! Good job. 🙂
I like the Swedish crepes at IHOP! We don't have IKEA where I live. 🙁
Did I read your comment correctly on Hadley's blog? You caught up on all my episodes at one time?
IHOP..I haven't thought of IHOP in years. Last time I went there was with my granddaughter when she was about 10 years old. Love the many items you got in the post, especially the mug rug.
I would just like to make one teensie little correction – Alabama was not your first experience of IHOP. Your first experience was in 1981 in Virginia and I'm soooo disappointed you don't even remember it.
Lots of Love,
Mum
