What's in the Post?

I've been rather fortunate over the past couple of weeks to have oodles of yummy packages come in the post. Some of it is down to me ordering books, magazines and what not. I know I said I would talk about those books and mags, but I became rather sidetracked by the fact amongst those deliveries some rather lovely folks, that I am rather fortunate to know, have sent me some of the most wonderful sewing materials for me to play with. 

First to arrive in the post was these wonderful silk threads from the Silk Mill this came about from a discussion over on my facebook page where I was talking about Mulberry Silk was having a January sale. My friend Jen Goodwin, fellow RSN Apprentice, suggested I looked at Silk Mill, and very kindly offered to send me some of her spare skeins for me to try out. Byjove they are so utterly lush! So shiny and bright.

Almost too pretty to use, but use I will. I need to think of a project just for them. Having dug through and sorted out several boxes of materials last night...I know I have some rather lovely beads and crystals that would work well with them too. 

Several days later, Bridgeen of Cherry & Cinnamon sent me a package of fabric that she designed herself! There so ruddy awesome that they, like the threads, need a project for them or several...agh so many uses! You can check out Bridgeen's fabric designs over on Spoonflower. 

Now who doesn't love a bit of post?
