Surrounded by talent
November 9th, 2007
My life is blessed with talented women in it!
My wondertwin Pam. Have you ever seen a more darling bag?!? I know the answer is no. Mix one part PamKittyMorning and one part Elizabeth/Late Bloomer Quilts = one killer pattern! Super powers activated! Connie and I are crashing the Anna Lena quilt retreat this weekend… I’m so making one of Pam’s bags while I’m there.
Liquid Sky Love. My friend Kathleen of Liquid Sky Arts is an uber talented artist. Paper, jewelry, photography… talent just oozes out of her pores. And to top off all that talent… she’s the super sweetest person ever. I ordered my holiday cards from Kath… soooo stinkin’ cute. I loved seeing her name on the back of the cards. Too effing cool! If you want to see the front… you can take a look here.
I can’t guarantee Kathleen will hand deliver your order like she did mine, or include a kick ass gift for Mimi… but you will love, love, love what ever you order from her!
That sweet Sharon of Red Geranium Cottage. Not just a talented quilter, but if you’re a regular reader of hers you’ll know she’s the Super Shopper of All Things Cool & Cute! I was supposed to be all “shhhhh” about the little baggie she was sending me. I said I’d keep mum, but I lied. Liar, liar - my pants are on fire. And why did she send me the darling little bag? Because I made my own contest on her blog! I highly recommend starting a contest on someone else’s blog. And just look what all she sent! I think I said “oh my goodness” like 57 times as I opened her package! And speaking of contests… I’ll be having one of my own soon! Hmmm… what could it be. 
And not only did Sharon send me one bag… BUT TWO. And look at the rest of the goodies too! As you can see I “opened” one of the bags… I just had to see the inner workings of such a neat little bag. And that cookie… Sharon thinks I’m going to eat it, but I’m not. Cute trumps sugar. At least for a week anyhow. We’ll see how my willpower holds out.
I have my annual mammogram next week… I’ll be using Sharon’s Moda Quilt Pink tote bag for what ever I’m working on while I’m waiting. I actually like getting my mammogram. Not the turning my boobs into Swedish pancakes part, but the feeling of doing something good for myself is quite wonderful. Plus… I get mine done at OHSU at the Center for Women’s Health and it’s almost like a spa day up there.
From bags to boobs… and now I must nap.

Farting around with needle & thread and then blogging about it.
So much to sample in this variety post. I am looking forward to visiting the links. And I salute you and your awesome Mamma-tude… I hope your spa day is uplifting and good!

November 9th, 2007Wow, lucky you, all these goodies! I loved the cookie and I admire your willpower… I’m not sure I would have willpower enough to take the picture, I think the cute cookie would have “disappear” before the shooting :)

Eye candy galore! Love all your loot. That Pamkitty/Late Bloomer bag is sooo adorable.
I hope your “squish-squash and mush” the boob appointment goes well!
November 11th, 2007All those gorgeous colors make me want to raid my stash and whip up something red and pink and polkadotty.
November 12th, 2007I am such a junkie of your blog. You take me to people and places I’ve never before heard of, and the circle increases with every entry. Before I know it, my lunch hour is gone and I must come back to reality - pooh.
November 12th, 2007HANG on, missy. You’re going to be going to OHSU??? Explain why we can’t have lunch on that day, hmmmm?

Aren’t PamKitty’s bags fun? I had a blast making one this week — woo hoo!
November 17th, 2007I’m in love with that pattern created by your wondertwin/Late Bloomer! It is soooooo cute! The goodies you received from Sharon are wonderful, but everything Sharon does it wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
