Do you love him enough?

Do you love your postman?

If your home and you hear the putt putt of his little motorbike, does your heart beat just that bit faster?

If you find your letterbox empty do you scan the street to see if anyone else has visible mail to determine if he's been yet?


Do you understand the difference in his timetable from day to day -(always later on Fridays)?


If you answered yes to any of the above questions I guess you are an online shopper / craft swapper.

The first two pictures are my beautiful presents from a little swap I joined with Bliss......by Luv Abby. What I didn't take a photo of (its hard to take a picture of your own arm) is the signature !! Yes my delicious arm warmers read Ric on one and Rac on the other - Man I feel so cool! (you know in a 38 yr old librarian kind of way)

Abby also generously sent along some gorgeous ribbons and trims and fabrics- I feel a bit spoilt to be honest - Thanks so much Abby. Knitting in any form amazes me , but these are so detailed with special curly cables on them - it must have taken you ages !
The other picture are of felt bought on Ebay and gorgeous little mushies from The craftsy shop
Of course none of these things actually came from the postman personally , but in the age of online shopping, with all the parcels that get delivered (yes a lot of them a squishy and deceptively fabric-like) he seems to get some credit by default .
So I salute the postman !
I love it when he brings letters,
I love it even more when he brings parcels.
In fact I should be happy he even stops at our house, considering Mr Ric Rac accidentally ran over his predecessor!
( Don't worry, he is fine and now delivers Flowergarden's mail)

I get by with a little help from my friends

My dearest friends John and Betty came over today. They're not married, in fact I am not even sure they knew each other before today, they are just the sweetest most selfless people, not to mention versatile and good for you.


As a result , the impending visitors will be greeted with muffins




Mr Ric-rac has marinated calamari for dinner



and I got to spend an inordinate amount of time fiddling with this







and experimenting with the worst kept secret in blogland.


I wonder if I can convince them to visit everyday?
