~A Goodie Box Came For Me~

I was busy embroidering the day away in my new craft/sewing room…and I just happen to look out the window when the mailman pulled into our driveway and he opened up the back of the mail truck to pull out a very large box. Down the stairs I went to see what he had brought….Oh Yes, it was a box for me!!

 Gina from “Cat Nap Inn Primitives” had sent a goodie box to me!! It was a belated birthday gift or should I say gifts…Wow, did she ever spoil me!!  I was watching Josie today and she helped me go through all the goodies in the box. She was so cute…she said “Grandma, this is like Christmas in the Summer and you must of been really good cause look at all you got.”   LOL…

 Gina sent me this wonderful book that I can’t wait to look at…I peeked inside and the farmhouses are wonderful, so I know I’ll be drooling all over the pages. Love the Welcome and Trick or Treat letters…they are going onto some wood for signs. The little notepad is already on my fridge just waiting for me to put some notes on it. And oh my goodness…she sent me some of her room spray that she has been making and it smells wonderful!! If you get a chance,  go check them out…she sells these on her page at WSOAPP web-site….she gave me the Clothesline Fresh. I just love the little quilted pillow tuck heart that says “Have A Wonderful Day” I put it with another quilted heart that I got from Merrie (Where The Blackbirds Sing).

 These are on a small shelf right outside our master bedroom…so they are the first thing that I see every morning when I leave the room to start my day. And they will remind me each day to have a wonderful day!

 I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when I pulled out the first rolling pin, but the excitement kept coming…not only did I get one rolling pin…but two, three, four, five, six, seven rolling pins!!!

 Still more goodies in this box…she sent me some fabric. There is some Halloween, Christmas, and Winter prints. I can see a lot of these being used in some pillow tucks. How about a prim embroidered candy-cane with the tiny candy-cane fabric on the back of the pillow tuck.

 I can already see one of these wood houses being painted red with a prim folk-art scene of  a willow-tree and some  little sheep….and the other one just might look great with a couple pillow tucks down in the box part of it. Well…that was the end of the goodies that just kept coming out of that big box…I must say again that Gina really spoiled me with all these items. She is one of the first ladies in blogland that I got to know…we share a passion for machine embroidery, sewing, and crafting. Gina is such a sweet, kind hearted, and caring soul…and she can make you laugh until you cry!! I feel so blessed that I got know her and to call her my friend.

My “Primitively Patriotic” swap partner received her goodies…so now I can show you all what I made for Amy from “At Home With Amy”.

 A flower arrangement in a tin bucket.

 Flag pillow tucks.

 A machine embroidery prim sheep that I attached to a metal flag.

 And a quilted fabric panel with rusty star buttons. If you get a chance, stop by Amy’s blog to see where she put all her patriotic goodies. She put this fabric panel into a frame and I just love how it looks in there.  

Until next time…..       blessings, Cindy
