P Is For Patience With The Mystery Giveaway

P is for Patience.  I have been very patient in fact.  The first part of June, Jill from Little Nest Studio had a MYSTERY GIVEAWAY and I was lucky enough to be the winner. When I won the giveaway the prize was still in the "mystery phase" and Jill needed to finish it up. I was fine with that. Jill has even posted a couple of sneak peaks while working on the prize. The waiting was driving me bananas...but this, young grasshopper, was a lesson in patience.

Today my patience was rewarded.

The reward was worth waiting for.

Jill must have crafted herself into a tizzy for me...she NAILED me with this darling package. 

The cutest little handmade house complete with fabric polka dot roof and matching mushroom.

Retro fun candy including chocolates from my favorite store Crown and Crumpet.

And the cutest little embroidered dishtowel.  My teen daughter was with me when I opened it and her words were "I am so jelling".  Evidently that is teen-speak for "I am so jealous!"  I am always blown away by needlework like this as this is a talent I truly lack.

Details, details! Absolutely charming.

It will have a place of honor in my kitchen on my "Do not use" towel rack.

Jill, thank you so much for the Mystery Gift and for teaching me patience...it was well, well worth it!

((Squeeel!!))
I'm so glad you like your Fabulous Mystery Gift! I have to tell you, that little house was a lesson in patience for ME!! Plan A was to create a pincushion rooftop. What you see is Plan E. (I'm not joking!! When I was cleaning up, I counted five rooftops scattered around my crazy workspace!) By Plan E there had been words. There had been duct tape. And yes, there had even been bloodshed. (Darn those new scissors!) In the end, I did see the humor in all that crafty drama, however, I'm so sorry that it's not a pincushion. It would have really added to the "fabulous" in "Fabulous Mystery Gift".

Thank you so much for your patience. It's so fun to see that little towel hanging in the cutest kitchen in all of Portland!

Hugs,
Jill

First of all, I loved all the letter P's that you used to begin your entry. Awesome!

The package you got is great! Love that little tea towel! Too bad I don't live closer - I'd offer to teach you needlework stitches (if you actually wanted to learn, that is!). But anyway, enjoy all the goodies!
