Who says love can't be bought?

I hope you don't mind the slow reveal as you read. Today I got the cutest parcel ever ...........and I actually unwrapped it sooo slowly and took some photos so you could share the antici............pation


Firstly I have to say Hi and welcome to anyone who is popping over from Today's Creative Blog.
I was a featured blog a few days ago - well my blog was.
How cool is that? Not only am I honoured but floored ! Today's Creative blog is great and it is a super way to find new blogs. I have added it and at least ten other blogs to bloglines since finding it.
A big thank you to Kim for thinking of me. (and I'll figure out the blinky ASAP).


Yesterday Jemma flew off to France - via Kuala Lumpur. It was a loooong day. Check in took so long (like 3hrs) that the poor girl was starving , so there was very little emotion as she headed for the big silver doors while trying to stuff in as many French fries as possible. Other families hugged and cried but Jem was more interested in her food "do you think I could just stuff in all those nuggets at once and go through?" We are all class at chez ric rac.

Now don't think he is peeping out shyly here guys...he is merely cocking an eyebrow and checking the place out.
See isn't he cute? I saw one of these fellows over at I'm a ginger Monkey and begged Katy to make one for me. He is the start of a new collection. I love him and he is coming to work with me tomorrow for show and tell. Massive massive thanks to Katy for the super speedy construction and post and for the knock-your-socks-off all round excellence.

Don't let that innocent look fool you - he is a very debonair chap. He is a smooth talker and he knows the way to a womans heart is with

selvedges !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, he brought me a present. I think I am in love!

  1. Oh he's gorgeous and I love the pirate fabric! Those are rather lovely selvedges, I really love the blue flowery one.

    So pleased to hear Miss RicRac got off on her travels ok and was not too emotional ;)

  2. ha ha ha!!! I'm so glad he arrived safely and you're happy with him. He knew a few bits of selvedge was a certain way in, just watch him though, he is a pirate after all (and pirates can be VERY troublesome)

    Jem sounds like me - I always panic about the lack of possible eating time between here and there (anywhere), emotion always comes second to some salty fries and a cheeseburger. In fact, last time I was on a plane we almost missed it becasue there was a certain golden arched burger chain OUTSIDE the terminal, and we just had to go and get some food (or we would surely die). It was worth it.
    Hope your baby has a great time in Europe (it's cold - sorry), and you are ok without her.
    Oh, and thank you again - I loved making Diggory for you :)

  8. HaHa! Pirate bounty to bury on a sunny island somewhere far away from the rest of the world.. make sure you check your garden for giant X shapes marking the ground - although you may need to wash the selvedges again once you dig them up!

  18. Your airport day sounds very familiar to ours, of course that is when we are there. I love your softie! Really, really cute!! Hooray for Selvedges! I just got a magazine AQS (American Quilter's Society) and there was an advertisement in it that indicated a new quilting book was coming out and is dedicated solely to selvedges. That is making quilted things with them. I bet you can check it out on their website.

  20. Those selvedges look lovely!!! My pile is slowly getting bigger as well but I still have to do something with them. You should write a book with the many uses of selvedges!!!!
