Mail day!!

The 6 bags of baby gear was picked up this morning so now I get to use my half share of the profits to mail off my Pay It Forward parcels and some swaps. Yay! Not yay for the post office ladies though, hehehe.


edit: Blogger chopped off one of the parcels. Damn you blogger!!! I've been considering moving to wordpress and you make it so easy!!
5 parcels and 2 envelopes. Will my money or mail run out first? Who knows....

The envelopes have bookmarks in for a swapbot swap. Not my best work but the linen is getting easier to sew and I think the fabrics I chose are beautiful. I just wish I had gotten more than a scrap of the apples and pears one. I love it yet I'm giving it away. Selfless, I tell you, selfless. Or stupid, whichever.





Oh, and....after sulking yesterday about the bad job interview I read my email and there was one frm a guy who I have written for in the past givng me a writing gig. US$500!!! Converted into NZ$ and after tax (first time I will have ever declared my extra income, what a grown up) thats still over NZ$500 for 500 words. Y A Y ! ! !

Fabulousness

Last Monday was so bad that Tuesday was bad and Wednesday too. Pretty much the week over before it picked up. But today was such a good Monday that there is no way this week will be anything but fabulous my dahlings, fabulous!!

Fabulous fabrics, including this Paris Hilton concoction:



Fabulous things made by me:
The cat ball even came out in a ball shape! My whipstitch is pretty shit-stitch (groan) but it holds things together well enough. Just got to make about 4 more mice skittles.


Fabulous mail:
Vintage transfers from Jane, thank you so much!! Plenty of stitching to pass my time!


And more mail fabulousness: The Spring and Winter Stitchettes to complete my set. I owe my brother big bucks for them (his credit card) but pfffft he can wait. I'm far too busy right now!


And to round out the fabulousness I sold an auction on Trade Me so theres money in the bank this week. And what a week it's going to be!

Snail mail sweetness

I wasn't expecting this for a couple of days and had pretty much forgotten I ordered it. Just when I was trying to decide what to embroider I decided to check the mail. Problem solved!

Myspace hilarity

So as a single woman in a western country I get tons of myspace spam from young men in Ghana and Nigeria. Men here get Russian women spamming them. Incidentally my brothers boss thinks his latest russian (he is such a sucker) is the real deal cos she waited until the third email to ask for money! Anyway...I didn't check my myspace for months then today I thought I better. This was by far the best message I got. You'll notice he can't say "I will like to know you more better" properly but in the middle of the email he spells spontaneous (I can't even spell that) and monotonous (or that) correctly and uses them perfectly. His sob story is just...well read for yourself.
