lucky ducky...

I have been a very lucky ducky this week.  I have received two gifts in the space of two days from two very generous people.  I have also had the day off today so I am having a super dooper long weekend. =D

My first gift was from the lovely Elizabeth from my crafty mess.  I met Elizabeth through the granny-a-day pool that Pip was running during May.  She has been making beautiful granny squares and offered to send me 9 squares that she had no use for as the afghan she is making an afghan in different colours.  I was so overwhelmed by the offer and they finally arrived last night!

I think I will make a cushion cover out of them.  I love the blues especially and a crocheted cushion will go really well in my house.

The second package I received this morning as I was leaving to drop my daughter off at school.  There's nothing like having a parcel greeting you at the door first thing in the morning.  It was from Chunky Chooky.  A couple of weeks ago I actually won a give away.  I never win anything so I was very excited.

I had no idea what the mystery parcel was as it was kept a secret so the suspense made it all the more exciting.

Ta Da!  How awesome is that? I am so lucky.  I have no idea what I will make out of all of it yet but I know that I will definitely get good use out of everything in there.  The fabric pieces are awesome and how cool are those buttons??

So thank you Elizabeth and Cath for your generosity.  You both made my day!

Wow! You are a lucky duck (but hello, you totally deserve it girl!) And you're right those buttons are very cool - is that a teapot one I see? Have fun with all your goodies!

(BTW I so wish I was able to drop by your blog on your giveaway day but I was away :( looks like you were inundated though - well done!)
