I Must Have…

… done something good, cause I have been very fortunate in the past few weeks!!! One day I saw the very talented Annie crocheted 2 little animals and one of them happened to be a giraffe!!! She remembered my obsession of giraffes and was so kind to make me a needlecase with the crocheted giraffe on it!!!! Isn’t this lovely?! And the backing fabric works so well with the whole thing!!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Annie!!!

And then there was Belinda celebrating her 200 followers milestone giveaway!!!! She made several project bags out of these discontinued Blackbird Design fabric which were super awesome!!!!!! Originally she was only going to pick 3 winners but in the end she generously added 3 more runners up, and I was very fortunate to be one of them!!! Not only did I received the project bag from her, she also included “Established With Love” chart from her Blue Ribbon Designs collection~ Thank you, Belinda, I will put them in good use!!!

Remember way back in March I saw this awesome quilt in San Francisco and found out that its fabric was from Urban Chicks 1974 line? Well, they were quite difficult to find now since it was out a few years back but as I was browsing the web, I came across some charm packs and I was thrilled!!!! I’m not sure what I will be doing with them yet, but I know I’ll think of something good!!! The most important thing is, now I have them in my stash!! HA!!

Winners!!!

Hello my darling friends~ Sorry I’m a day late but here are the recipients of my blogoversary giveaway:

DH and I went hiking the other day. The weather was perfect and the scenery was amazing. Here is a little snapshot from that day~~

Thank you so much for visiting, and I’ll be back with more soon!!!

Work in Progress…

I have been working on LHN’s Simple Joys for a while. In fact, it had traveled with me to Taiwan and back again, but still not finished yet…… I know, it’s kind of slow… There were just too many distractions!!! But I do enjoy seeing this coming together, the colors are just divine!!!!

I’m a little bit worried, though, cause it looks like I am running low on Bean Sprout. I still have to fill in the grass area and the borders, but only 3 skeins of threads left. It is going to be tight!!!!!

I get one of those e-mail newsletters from the Fat Quarter Shop every month, and I totally fell in love with this month’s feature kit when I saw it!!! It was the Hello Yellow Quilt Kit designed by Vickie of Spun Sugar Quilts~~ Don’t you think it’s beautiful?! This is definitely on my “Must Have” list!!!!

So that’s it for today. Don’t forget to leave a comment on my last post if you would like to enter for my giveaway~~ I’m going to sit in front of the TV and stitch now~

The Goods!!

After a few days of hard work, things are finally back to order. So now I can show you the things I brought home with me – a whole bunch of zippers, different types of buttons, some quilting utilities, and very cute fabrics!!! I just love the prints on them!! So adorable!!!!

A dear friend took me shopping at the fabric district in Taipei and I was so surprised to see so many different types of fabrics. It is very different from what we used to see here, but equally awesome!!! I was so mesmerized by all the fabrics that I totally forgot to take a picture!!!! I actually wanted to do more shopping before I come back but all my days were booked… Total bummer!!

I did managed to pick up these two little pouches for a giveaway, though, simply because I feel like sharing this lovely vacation with all of you!! I will also include some of the treasures I brought back as well.

So, since my blogoversary is in two weeks, you will have till August 24 to enter if you would like to adopt one of them home. Simply leave a comment on this post and I will draw 2 winners on the 24th. Good luck, and thanks for visiting~~

I’m Back!!

Hello everyone~ I’m back from my trip!!!! Right now I still have a bit jetlag, so I’m not quite myself yet… Plus I have to put the house back to order again!!! DH sure made a mess while I was gone!!!! All his papers and stuff some how made their way out of the study and into the dinning room… And the kitchen… I don’t even what to think about that right now!!!

So I will be back to show you all the treasures I brought back from Taiwan~~ Hopefully I can get everything back to normal soon!!!
