Blown Away!

I've been completely blown away today by the generosity and thoughtfulness of one of my lovely bloggy friends.

I was waiting for a wee bit more fabric from Susan (Miss September), after I slightly messed up her Brit Bee Blocks.

When I saw the large parcel at the front door today I thought 'that's a bit big for 2 wee strips of fabric'!

I eagerly tore through the brown paper wrapping to find lots of lovely goodies - I was speechless!

Of course the fabric I was waiting for was there, as was 2 more Bee Blessed blocks and my PIF (Pay it Forward) gift.


A crocheted purse.  I can't tell you how adorably soft this is AND it's fabric lined - exquisite!
Then I opened this fun kids monkey quilt top, all pieced and ready to be quilted and bound (binding also provided!).  Susan is very kindly donating this to Bee Blessed - what a woman!!


The monkeys on the fabric reminded me of the toy sock monkeys that were the rage a while ago - here's one my daughter made out of a pair of her socks last year!

Isn't he cute!
At then, I came to a really heavy shoe box, and guess what was inside?

Mmmmm! Delicious!
That's right, a bucket load of delicious choc chip cookies!! I can honestly say I've never received a shoe box of cookies in the post before!  

Susan - you are a legend!  No wonder you were anxiously asking me yesterday had the post arrived!!

I haven't stopped smiling all day!  Thank you just doesn't seem to cover this, but I hope my friend Susan knows that she is v.much treasured by me (& many others) and she has truly touched my heart with her friendship, thoughtfulness and personality. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  12. Goodness me! Blushing here. Just glad you liked the parcel Judith. I wanted your PIF to be things that you wouldn't (generally) be doing yourself and baking fell into that category. Enjoy!

  15. Whoa! Susan has outdone herself, if that's possible. I mean she really upped the ante with the licky pole, but those cookies take the cake.
