What a lovely day today! I have just received a big surprise this morning from my dear sis Noreen. She told me about sending something for me but I never thought it'll be a super package. I'm so surprised. How thoughtful of her.
When I opened up the box, I really don't know what to pull out first. My jaw was dropped and couldn't believe what I'm seeing. My eye!
So the scent I smelled upon opening the box was coming from the vanilla scented candles. Uh very nice, I like it. Then I found a "Vanila Sugar" body lotion and shower gel. I sure will use it soon. I didn't know that there is such a thing as Stitchers Lotion, hehehe. But now I know, she just gave me one.
She also included packs of tea, 3 flavors, one of which is her fave. And not to forget the chocolates, who doesn't like chocolates? Well obviously not me (just look at my blog's name), hehehe.
Sis Noreen is one of the nicest and sweetest persons I've ever met. She and my dear SF were the ones who introduced hand dyed fabrics to me. It's from them that I got the chance to have a feel and look of hand dyed fabrics from SW, EF and S&S. If not to them, I would probably keep on dreaming, wishing for it and envious looking at some hand dyed fanatic stitcher's albums, hehehe. So now you know, I have two Fabric Wish Fairies. I'm so lucky!!! Jealous, anyone? hehe.
Look at these beauties...
Lovely hand dyed fabbies from S&S, SW and EF. The marbled light green one is from Zweigart. I'm the happiest, really.
That's not all. She also gave me a couple of 25ct Lugana and lotsa Aida.

The lovely dyed fabric in the photo is her own dyed. I like it, it looks like professionally made. She's so talented.
Another very first for me. I cannot find at any LNS and local online shops here some HDF silk by Vikki Clayton. Honestly, I'm wishing for it. I want to have a feel and look of it and see its difference between other brands. Guess what, sis Noreen read my mind and granted my wish. Told you she's my Wish Fairy.
Along with all these goodies and beauties, is a letter she wrote for me. How sweet! I feel special and blessed.
I don't know what to say sis, but please accept my genuine and heartfelt THANK YOU. I don't know if I deserve all these. Is it luck or I'm really blessed? Whichever it is, I'm so grateful and overjoyed.Thanks for the birthday wishes.
TFL!
