Luck of the Irish

Imagine the delight of my inner Irish woman when this fabulous package arrived on my doorstep this week! This month's swap colors were green & gold, and Vallen did not disappoint!

Papers and cards and beads and baubles! Note the "March" collage - she's made one for each month of our swap! The green tin was filled to the brim with fun sewing notions:


Lucky green dishes and ribbons and lovely Vallen-made wool-felted goodness:


Could it get any better? Of course! A bounty of green and gold fabric:


So much more filled the box, but I've already begun to use it! I've been working on a new program around here: NO MORE HOARDING. Admittedly, it's quite liberating to use all the items I've squirreled away for years. And, I promise that the initial guilt of using those "prize" pieces goes away really fast. Try it! Use something you've hoarded for over a year for instant liberation!
