*** If you are looking for giveaways, I have three going now! Two for Sew
Mama Sew Giveaway day, here and here, and one for follower appreciation. One has only one entry! Ack, a sure winner!
They are all open until Friday. ***
I went from W.I.P. to finished all in one day! Yay me!
Well, not all the way finished because I simply don't have the right kind of button to finish off the bag. I was thinking a big wooden button, but I don't have any big enough.
What do you think? Big wooden button? Big white button?
I am always so indecisive about these things.
Today was also a good day to check my mail. I not only got a card from my in-laws today, but I also got the ALFALC swap all the way from Tasmania! And it was well worth the wait.
Check it out!
A little can of Milo, 4 beautiful bits of fabric, a super cute card, vintage buttons (oh, how I love buttons) and fudge!
I had mentioned to my swap partner that I had lived in Australia for 6 months when I was 19 and that I used to have Milo every night, but we don't have it here. (Though I did once find it in Walmart.) And being such a sweetie, she packed up a little can for me! I remember my cousins always had it on top of cold milk and they would eat the crunchy powder before it could dissolve. I liked it that way too. But I was cold today, so I mixed it in with warm milk and, mmmmmm, I guzzled it down. I probably should have just drank it nicely and enjoyed it, but I was too excited.
Yeah, I'm a little nerdy that way. But I am not alone in my nerdy state, and by my age, I don't really care what people think of me anyway.
And for one last shot... the fabric closeup. A little fuzzy, but oh so scrumptious!
I love milo too...bit of a staple item in an Australian pantry.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, that is a fabulous mail day.
ReplyDeleteWhat is milo?
I'd go for a large white button just to pull out the white in the fabric.
