woo-hoo!

My Daddy's out in Las Vegas on business and asked if there was anything he could pick up for me. The last time he was there he made a Herculean effort to get to a scrapbooking store to buy me a half a suitcase worth of goodies. So, natch, I said "fabric please!" and wondered how to find out about stores in his area. Then I had a brainwave and asked a lovely quilter I know, Nichol , did she know anywhere nice he could go? She's a Vegas resident, of course! Well, bless her wee heart, she not only knew *several* places but she picked him up and took him herself! Here he is.


Look! Bags of goodies!!! Nic, mate, thanks so much for looking after him! I know that with you supervising I'll be in store for some lovely bits and you are a total sweetheart!

  1. Aren't Dads the greatest?!?! Yours sounds just awesome to take the time to shop for supplies for you. How nice of HardyPartyof5 (as I think of her) to escort him also. How fun for all of you! You'll have to show pics of the fabric he choose. I bet he has good taste!

  7. Oh, how fun! I bet they both had a great time that would have only been better if you had been there, too. When does Dad get home? You must be so excited! All that fabric with NO shipping fees! Woo HOO!

Hi! I'll try really hard to reply to comments by email (unless you're a no-reply Blogger in which case I can't!) because I love getting your messages but I'm a working mum and don't always manage - I read and appreciate every single one!
