My daughters are just as excited about the mail arriving as I am. When the postie came to our door on Friday with a registered parcel, Little E exclaimed:

"Maybe it's bubble wrap!"

My mini quilt has arrived. A big thank-you to Isabel of Portugal for this. The liberated patten and bright colours are just right.

My daughter were disappointed when I sent off my quilt and I'm not sure that they really believed me when I told them that there would be a whole new one coming. It will eventually go up on my wall. For now it has been commandeered into various games of sleeping and making houses under the computer desk. It's definitely better than bubble wrap.
