Mail Call

I don't know if it's a good thing that I've seen my mail men several times in the past week ... not because they aren't nice people (we have several delivery people) but because it's burning a hole in my bank account! Here are some of the goodies I've acquired (and their soon to be fate:

Etsuko Fuyura

ECHINO

Butterfly Stripes (Rust)

Flower (Deep Red/Beige Flower w/ Teal Dove)

I ordered these from Kris to make this cover for my KitchenAid. It gets a little ... dusty from time to time. The picture does not do this fabric justice ... it is just beautiful!

I also bought Amy Butler's Blue Sky Hats pattern (still searching for fabric) and this awesome wet bag to use at the pool. I think I have paid for Kris's kids first year of college - ok, maybe just for a set of braces! (smile) (Let me clarify - she's not expensive ... I've just ordered a ton of stuff!)

But wait! There's more! A little surprise ... some of Amy Butler's Midwest Modern (brown) as a bonus ... thank you so much Kris!

And then there are the books ... I fell in love with the sweet chemise in Simple Sewing With a French Twist. I can't wait to make it. This book is such eye candy. Gorgeous pictures and some pretty cool projects (shoe covers, bathrobe, laundry bags...). I also spotted (while blog lurking) the SEW Everything Workshop and decided that it was needed as well to add to the Some-of-a-Kind-too-many-books collection.

I figure these are a little happy birthday to me - only two months early ...

Henry and John also got some mail not too long ago - a postcard from Milo (Periwinkle's big little fella). Henry was just tickled to get some mail from "really really really REALLY far away".

I am also lusting for one of these dolls and these little people from Erica Daley. I am wishing for them to magically appear in my mail box. I can see a whole Some of a Kind family (cat included) on my bookshelf ... I need these like I need ... more books and fabric! :0)
