Friends, far and away

I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: one of the best things about blogging is meeting new and wonderful friends from all over the world. Reading their blogs and communicating through comments and emails can brighten up any day, and some times you even get a tactile token of kindness in your mailbox, like I did this week.

My lovely friend Corrine from dosfishes sent me my very first mail art for my birthday. She is an amazing mixed media artist who creates stunning art every day. Yep, every day!

Look at this envelope (that would be the mail art)!
It was filled with artwork (which is now on my wall)
and vintage kimono silk and silk fabrics and ribbon
and linen cloth
and linen calendar

and any hoarder’s dream card.-)

Thank you so much, Corrine; I'm still grinning like a mad woman!!!

I haven’t done any quilting this week; in fact I haven’t even unpacked my sewing machine since my sewing group last Wednesday. Instead I have been enjoying the company of these two

Have a lovely Friday.-)
