It's Opening Day!!

Finally the big day has arrived. I feel so lucky and special, the goodies I received were beyond generous and the bag in itself is completely gorgeous! I love it and want to say a big thank you to the very talented Chris for sewing it for me. I only know Chris through our internet beginners sewing group and I don't know her that well but what I do know is that Chris is SUPER busy with 4 young children and a brand new business making gorgeous hair accessories. I also know that Chris spends many late nights and is often up until the early hours of the morning working on her new business so thank you Chris for finding the time to sew my beautiful bag. The extra goodies you included were a complete surprise and extremely appreciated, I love it all, thank you!

And so, without further ado, here is my haul.





Miss M's eyes lit up when she saw the doggy fabric, I've already got a couple of ideas for it. There is a beautiful piece of Robert Kaufman fabric with lots of red in it which I love and I couldn't believe the gorgeous, and not to mention, huge piece of Amy Butler Midwest Modern fabric, oh I feel so lucky, I've never owned AB fabric before!!! I love the copy of Homesewn, I've never read a sewing magazine before and can't wait to have a proper look through it and try some of the projects in it.



Oh and I also love the card Chris sent, it's a beautiful card and I must ask Chris where she got it from. Chris you also have beautiful handwriting LOL!
