quilting catalogues

Today I got a Spring Keepsake catalogue. I always get a bit excited when it arrives in my mailbox. It is so handy to carry around when you go to the doctor, dentist, hospital , anywhere that you have to sit and wait. At least that is what I do with it. The cover of this issue is so pretty in pinks and greens . The design looks like tumbler blocks but apparently that is not so according to the kit description. This one also came in today on my e mail. It doesn't offer much that way and you can't take it with you :>))This little book has given me many years of entertainment. So I must suck it up and buy something. I often go to order items and then it all collapses when I realize what the postage is going to cost. But this time I will purchase something. There are so many different ways to add to your quilting supplies from this catalogue. Not only the ubiquitous Fat Quarters but also 5 and 10 inch squares as well as 1/2 yards and whole yards, kits and notions. Loads of fun to read!!
Keepsake provides a real service to quilters. That's my opinion and I am sticking with it LOL> This is NOT a PAID Advertisement :>)
I did nothing spectacular today but went to the casino and won $500. Wow!! I now have the $$$$ to buy a table for my Janome 6600P that I am sure will make sewing a lot easier on my back which has been so bad I have been afraid that I may have to stop sewing and embroidering. Now that would be a bad thing not a good thing.
Life is good for me , I have so many interesting things I can do . So my advice to you if you are interested and if not just delete,is Fill Your Life With Lots of Fun and Creative things to do. You will not be depressed or unhappy. Anyway happiness is a state of mind. At least I think it is :>))
I should have been a preacher not a teacher .

Uh oh... pinks and greens? I probably shouldn't even THINK about looking at it...

Congratulations on your win! That must have been a total thrill! :) If it were me I'd be going out and getting the camera I want :D But a table works too! Will you put it in your room or have you figured that out yet?

I think I got that catalog too; it might be the one I took to Ann Arbor with me the other day! I get a lot of good ideas out of the catalogs.
I think you're right to keep busy and stay happy.
WTG on winning at the casino!! I am not good at winning although I did win $100 last month I think it was. I was supposed to spend it on me but instead bought Christmas gifts.
