MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Today I like my mailman!

Most of the time he's a rather grumpy individual, but I can overlook his personality when he brings me delightful presents in the mail (and it's not even MY birthday!!).  The amazing Kim of Wisdom With Needle and Thread is celebrating a milestone birthday this year and to honour that she is giving away 60 presents to her followers.  How generous is that?  I am the happy recipient of one of her gifts and thought I'd share with you my delight...


Kim made me a beautiful little needle book and included
the sweet Kewpie card.

There was a cute little cross stitch pattern
(which I already plan to use on a crazy quilt project!)
and some gorgeous fabric with 
coordinating embroidery floss....  


And do you see that amazing scissor fob in
the picture above?  She made that too!

Below is a closeup so you can the back of the 
needle book - isn't that fabric perfect?




Below is the inside of the needle book -
she has included two pockets for 
additional storage, along with the 
fabric tape measure trim.



Below is a close-up of the scissor fob -
the beads are sparkly (just as we magpies like!!)


THANK YOU KIM!
Your birthday has made me very happy!!

Today I found a quote about birthdays  - "You are a wonderful source of joy.  May your special day bring you an extra share of everything that makes you the happiest in the world"

I know it's not Kim's birth day yet, but
this is my wish for her anyway.

  3. Your postie sounds rather like the grumpy old one in the movie Funny Farm....I did smile when you wrote about him. My oh my, you received gorgeous pretties. No wonder you are a happy gal. Love that fabric with the girl with the black and white sketches. What a lovely lady is Kim to gift each of her followers with such fabulous gifts.

  11. Such a generous gift! And now I think I have to make beady scissor fobs to replace the old scraps of tattered yarn currently in use around here.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
