One of the best things about blogging is getting to know such wonderful people. Jean is one lady I have gotten to know quite well. She has written me so many encouraging comments and been so kind. She surprised me the other day by sending me a box full of patterns.
They are all going to be useful! Now to just find the time to start making the cute pj's for my big boy and one of the many adorable dresses for my little one. I am over the moon over this package of inspiration!
Jean really went over the top in also including a huge bag of laces, and here are some of the very useful trims that she treated me to.
Thank you so very much Jean. I just want you to know how much your encouragement means to me. I really can't tell you how much I appreciate all the sweet comments you and everyone else post here. At times I have been really good at thanking you but lately I have let too many lovely comments go without a proper thank you. So I will say it here: THANK YOU ALL MY DEAR READERS!
oh my what a nice present! Would love to see those dresses made by your hands..
you make the most wonderfull things and your blog is so inspiring. So thank you too!!

Your very welcome Emily. Hope that you can put them to good use. Always nice to be able to pass things onto someone that can get some use out of them. Better than throwing them away. Hugs...

Oh my, what a wonderful present. I can imagine how thrilled you must have been opening this treasure! I can't wait to see dresses and other clothes from those patterns. And fabric you will use. You have such a great taste and allways use just perfect fabric for a specific dress. Hugs, Anja
