Scrappy Swap and a Prize!

Hello World!

I can't believe how time is flying right now.

I haven't had much time for anything except work,

so I feel like I'm falling behind everywhere else.

I'm trying to find a balance,

which sometimes means shutting myself off from

the rest of the world.

Do you know that feeling?

You just can't add one more thing,

one more problem,

one more 'to do'

to your life.

Yeah...that's where I've been these past couple weeks.

But soon it will pass and my life will be my life again,

so that's what I'm focusing on!

YAY!

In the meantime,

my brain has been on overload

from being consumed with all the information

being sent my way.

But enough with the boring stuff!!

Let's get on to some happy news!!

As I mentioned in THIS post

I was in the Scrappy Swap on Flickr

I received,

all the way from Australia,

this GORGEOUS item

It came from Hilary

and you can feel free to take a peak at her blog

HERE

I love all of the scraps,

and the fabric basket she made for me.

I'm keeping all my 2-1/2" squares in this little beauty!

Actually,

it's a BIG beauty! 

I'll probably be able to hold an entire quilt

full of 2-1/2" squares!

Plus my fancy book mark

(which is being held ever so nicely in my Fifty Shades of Grey book)

Oh yeah

Hey....a gal has to have some excitement, right?

I also won a FABULOUS give away!

I could NOT believe it!

Right from the designer herself,

Laurie Wisbrun.

It was a fat quarter bundle of her new line

that is coming out this month called

Don't Be Crabby

I have a friend who had a beautiful baby boy

and this fabric is PERFECT to use to

make a quilt for him!

Along with the fabric,

I also won the paper piecing pattern 

designed by Amy Friend

of During Quiet Time.

You can read about this pattern

HERE

I highly suggest you take a look at it. 

It's so darn cute!!!

So even in the 'muck' of life,

good things continue to happen.

I can never complain!

Enjoy!
