A first for me!

I'm am a titch giddy right now. Flat Betty just arrived home from visiting Sandi Henderson and she put 3 fabric swatches in Betty's Guest book from her new, upcoming, yet to be revealed fabric line! OH MY WOW! Not only are the swatches great but something about seeing a them knowing that it is a "secret" and done by a dear sweet friend make it even better! *big grin* I can't and wouldn't reveal the swatches but I will share a photo from the bottom half of that page. Don't you just love Sandi's chic stickers?

"Your rug Miss"

I was caught by the UPS man pulling up to my house as I was just leaving this morning. I pulled along side the big brown "bus" and he said, "Your rug is here Miss. About......(then proceeds to measure the shape and size with his hands)......*smile* broke out on my face because I realize what it is and it's not a rug. "Would you like it in your car or up by the house?" I told him by the door was fine. Here's my "rug" he delivered this morning:

Usually it comes in a box so I suprised he was referencing it to be a rug BUT know knowing that you could actually SEE inside the "packaging" it makes sense. It could be a rug! and I guess it was a pretty guess on his part as to what is really was! more to come with these little lovelys soon......................

OH delightful!

I love it when I get to see your photos! Photos from customers, postings on your blog when you have tackled one of my tutorials or have been inspired by something I have posted. SHOW Me! I happened to stumble across this blog - Bartlett Ohana and look what they created using my tutorial:

Don't they look great!? Her photo is wonderful and so rich with color! I love the fabric she chose and she was also resourceful too! She used brown felt and some fusible webbing to create her cookies because that is what she had on hand. Great job!!! Anyone else give it a try! I'd love to take a peek! SHOW me!

Wardrobe basics

Did you catch oprah this week? the shlumpadinka episode? I love how they did the makeover's for real women in real clothing at real easy to get to retail chain stores. It just makes sense to help teach women how to shop at the same stores they go to - but smarter. Don't ya think? I loved Lloyd Bostons basics section they did too. Now I'm itching to get some new flats and definately a trench coat! So I'm thinking another shopping trip is due! I hit a few stores today but just didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Here's what I've got on my mind for coats - looks like I might need to be ordering online instead of searching the stores!
Love this color!!!!

Love this color too. The material and length are wrong for Spring but I still want it for next Fall/winter! :)
and this little number! who can resist my favorite pattern - polka dots! too cute!!!

Now on to shoes. Flats aren't something I wear alot of but they say it's better then wearing tennis shoes. I have a pair of red flats which I love to wear and I will definately be buying a couple more pairs with fun bold colors or patterns for this Spring. I'd love to buy a fun animal print pair!

Speaking of red shoes, doesn't Sandi have the cutest pair? She got alittle help from my alter ego, Flat Betty picking out those shoes. She's definately hot and trendy for this season! You can view the details about Flat Betty's latest trip here . Will you be buying anything new to add to your Spring Wardrobe?
