It's not often the I can indulge in purchasing some handmade goodness. My budget just doesn't ever stretch that far. Not that I think handmade goodness is overpriced, it's just my paycheck can only stretch so far.
However, recently I decided to part with two of my beloved sewing machines. This one was particularly hard to part with, but I knew I would never use it and the loveliest lady purchased it after driving 6 hours to pick it up! Anyway, I'm getting off subject. These two machines put a few extra dollars in my PayPal account. I knew I had to spend these pennies wisely, because it would be a LONG time before I had anymore luxury pennies. So I spent the last two months trawling the Internet looking for lovely things to spend my pennies on when I came across a lovely something. 
The lovely something wasn't quite ready yet, so I had to wait, whilst making sure those pennies didn't burn a hole in my pocket (I suffer from a severe case of long arms and short pockets. I counted the days, stalked a certain lovely blog until I saw this post and I quickly put my penny spending skills into action.
She arrived today.
This bestest bit about the parcel?
The lovely hand signed thank you card.
It really touched me and I knew my pennies had been very well spent.
Now I can't wait to get stitching!
Let's hope my stitching skills will do this sweet rabbit justice.
Happy Weekend!

P.S. My sweet Rabbit was very very reasonably priced. So I do indeed still have some luxury pennies left in my PayPal account. I am saving those for a rainy day.
Ooh she is nice. I especially like her liberty print dress. I look forward to seeing your results. Its good to treat yourself now and then. Happy weekend.

What a wonderful purchase - those bunnies are so lovely aren't they? I can't wait to see how she looks when you have finished her.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a shame, but it makes complete sense...I'm such a hoarder.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics - they are beautiful.

How nice that you spent your sewing machine money on something for you, I understand how you feel about selling the machines, as you know I sold a couple of mine too, I still feel I did the right thing as they are being used and treasured as they are meant to be and as I'm reading back I know that you have made your sweet little Maggie Rabbit now beautifully!
