Modennie was SO good to me. She sent the most wonderful, perfect package and it was so darn early I absolutely did not expect it. I didn't even get to stalk! Boy did you ever surprise me! I have never gotten a swap package so-o-o fast! One of our other board members, Ddlbug, is here visiting on vacation and we were galivating around the Florida Panhandle sight seeing and fabric shopping.
We could not believe all the beautiful things she sent me. Those fall fabrics are breathtaking with the matching variagated thread. The Moda Kansas charm pack is full of beautiful prints. The little "Peaches" chicken pincushion is the cutest thing ever. I can't wait to try to make one of those. Moedeenie did a beautiful job on him. I love the snip scissors, patterns, coffee, post it notes, sweet little fall cup cake wrappers, buttons, calender and darling fall socks. She sent a long sweet letter that let me learn a little about her. I hope I get her as a swap partner at some point so I can spoil her too.

As Faye noted on her status sheet that she was planning to make a Buggy Barn Crazy Cat Quilt in Fall colors, I decided to put together an Autumn themed package. I sure hope you will post pictures of your Crazy Cat Quilt when finished!!!
Take Care and enjoy your visit with your dear friend! If she isn't already signed up, maybe she will join us next month!

what is your field, have you begun any work on the dissertation? do you need a different advisor if you're not ok with this one...hugs

What I tell my kids, and their friends,when they graduate high school is...the next four years of your life are going to pass by no matter what you do. You can either work really really hard for the next 4(+?) years and be able to relax and have fun for the rest of your life.... Or you can relax and have fun now and work really really hard for the rest of your life.
I know there are exceptions to that rule, but someone told me that once eons ago (back when a 4 year degree really took only 4 years!) and I opted yo have fun. He was right, I had a great fun time, and have been working hard ever since. Have applied that logic ever since I realized he was right. And watching my kids and their friends. My oldest graduated in 08. Those friends of his that opted to have fun, are now realizing as they are watching others in their class that are nearing college graduation, that they should have made the other choice.
Whatever you decide is right for you, and I'm sure since you are already this far into your journey, you aren't a slacker. But just remember.... The next four years are going to pass no matter what you do.
Hang in there!!! ((hugs))

Got so excited when the mailman rang the doorbell this morning with a big package....of course I thought it was from my SP but it was a package for one of my kids. Postman now must think I'm a stalker.
