TOO GREAT NOT TO POST TONIGHT...

I know that it's late and I really should be in bed, but this is too great not to post tonight! I had talked to my Mother yesterday about CoCo Chanel and the beautiful suits that she designed. I also told her that I had been wanting to make a Chanel jacket for sometime now but that it was so hard to find boucle fabric locally. I've really had the Chanel designs heavy on my brain for the last couple of days. I didn't get home until around 9 tonight and was sitting here watching Chanel on Lifetime again when the phone rang around 10 pm. It was my neighbor who was saying she had picked up a delivery for me this afternoon. When I collected it from her it turned out to be a box from my Mother and just look what was inside....

3 1/2 yards of BLACK AND PINK BOUCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it wonderful! Talk about make my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are some other things that were in the box. An apron kit, two really pretty lining like materials, a gold linen like fabric, the cutest little ceramic duck pin cushion, and duck pin cushion, a sisters Christmas ornament that reminds me of just how important sisters are. See why I couldn't hold this until tomorrow?
