I have had a great day!!

...which actually started last night when my best bud rang to say they were moving back to Auckland in two weeks. Two weeks!! I am so excited. I couldn't afford to go visit these school holidays so I was a bit sad, but this is just the  best news.
Then this morning I managed to get my favourite bras, in my size, Yay. All you gals know how important this is right? When you find a bra you love, you stick with it it, and these are seriously the most comfy bra I have ever come across as well as being ...urrhumm ... uplifting.
Then I did the shopping, boring boring, but I came home to find a whole lot a mail, lots of the paisley swap motifs I am guessing, but I didn't open them yet, cos I got mail from my mum, which is really weird right, as she can phone, and I could tell it was papers and I thought,  it's proably a will or family trust stuff...but this is what I found

 

Issue 67 of the New Zealand Quilter. Mum usually gives me a copy of these when she is in them, but a quick browse and I found this

 

See that tiny little squidge of my quilt?? How exciting. I am guessing mum had something to do with this, but she didn't let on to me. There was also an article about the POST stitch exhibition which my seascape postcard was in, but not lucky enough to get a mention there, but wow, in a little place like NZ, if I was mentioned twice in one issue, that would just about make me I think. LOL

So , as Sponge Bob would say "it's the best day eee-vvveerrrrrrr". Brookies birthday tomorrow, then holidays, then hanging with my BFF to look forward to.
