Delightfully Debbie!

good afternoon!

yesterday afternoon the postie came...

with a delightful package from my good friend debbie

from canberra!

i was being a bit cheeky at christmas...

when i sent my cards out,

i gave all my friends my blog address.

not hearing anything back

i just assumed my friends weren't interested

and had binned it.

well, it turned out that deb didn't..

and she made a georgeous cushion

for all our queensland friends affected by the floods.

i don't think she'll ever know how much this touched my heart...

thanks deb,

 you're the best!

doesn't it look striking 'on the black couch'...

those juicy red cherries, little cream flowers and emerald leaves

all edged with gold on a navy background.

this view of the front

shows the border sewn in around the cushion...

a lovely tailored looking finish.

a green buttoned up back...

those red flower buttons needed another photo...

aren't those buttons pretty....

times like these i wish i had one of those specialty lenses

that take close up pics beautifully..

but this will have to do!

to finish up i just had to show you the back detail

in the corner...

isn't it sweet?

well that was a surprise of the best kind...

it made my day yesterday

after all that bad news from nz

this warmed my heart!

friends have that kind of effect

don't they!

hoping you're enjoying your friends today...
