| Crocheted Pot Holder and Bamboo Stitch Pins |
Today, I received a gift in the mail from a friend: a pot holder she had crocheted and a packet of bamboo stitch pins. What a lovely gift!
I had my piano lesson, today, and it was another good lesson. I received stickers and candy! Plus, another new piece to learn.
I had lots of tasks planned for the afternoon, but, I felt tired in the afternoon and took it easy. I watched news, cut more strips of fabric for my rag rug, and crocheted. Later, I video chatted with my daughter. She, too, had received a gift in the mail from one of her friends who sent her a package for her birthday.
Today, I am grateful for:
- Gifts in the mail
- Kind sentiments
- A good piano lesson
- Being able to take it easy and rest when needed
- Being able to video chat with my daughter
Today's joyful activity was receiving a gift in the mail.
Friday's To Do List:
- Clean the bathrooms
- Pay the gas bill/Go to the post office
- The rest of Thursday's list!
How was your Thursday? Do you enjoy receiving gifts in the mail?
Nice gift, crochetted things are so pretty! Have a lovely weekend ☺
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely gift, isn't it? Thank you, Natalia. Hope you have a good weekend, too. :)
DeleteStickers and candy? Well done Bless. Do you still have to be able to play your pieces from memory?
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to receive surprise gifts especially when it comes in the post. How thoughtful of your friend.
I haven't done much housework this week so will have to catch up over the next week. I too feel tired so have decided to go with the flow and not push myself too much.
Thank you, Eileen. No, I don't have to memorize my pieces, although I've memorized at least a couple of them.
DeleteYes, it was lovely to receive a gift in the mail.
You did quite a lot, in the previous week, so, not doing a lot this week is OK. You'll more than make up for it in the coming week, I'm sure.
A gift in the mail and stickers and candy at piano lessons. A joyful day indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was, Live and Learn. :)
DeleteI love"real Post" - not event flyers, or advertising or other junk mail. We came home yesterday to find a HUGE box from Amazon in our porch. "What have you ordered?" I said "Nothing!" replied Bob. But it was actually for our neighbour. I guess the delivery guy left it with us because it was well sheltered out of the rain, and he knows we'd pass it on safely. But I did get excited for a minute at the thought of a surprise parcel...
ReplyDeleteOh, that would have been fun if the package had been for you! I once received a package like that - delivered to me, but, meant for someone on a different street! We had the same house number... I was able to contact the person whose package I had received and she came over and picked it up! It was a trampoline, she said. :)
DeleteCongrats on the piano lesson and what fun to get a gift in the mail. I love surprises in the mail!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend- xo Diana
Thank you, Diana. Wish you the same.
DeleteIt's fund to get things in the mail!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, Debra! :D
DeleteMy daughter has been teasing me about sending packages of lemons to friends and not sending a care package to her! So now, I will have to send her some oranges from our tree! LOL.
It must have been lovely to receive such a sweet gift in the mail. A very pleasant change from bills and appointment notifications. X
ReplyDeleteIt really was lovely to receive the gift, Jules. Definitely a pleasant change from bills and stuff. :)
DeleteHow lovely to receive a handmade gift in the mail. I think that is such a sweet thing. Meg:)
ReplyDeleteIt was, Meg. I very much appreciate her sending me something she made. :)
DeleteThe colours on the pot holder are so pretty. What a nice surprise. Good to hear that the piano lessons are progressing well, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done any more on the pantry! Yesterday the morning went quickly and I was out for a while, and in the afternoon I visited my friend.
The pot holder colors go well with the green vinyl tiles I have on the kitchen floor. :)
DeleteSounds like you had a good day, yesterday. Sometimes, we have to do other things, besides cleaning! I limited my kitchen cleaning to doing the dishes and wiping down the counters, today, because I didn't feel so good, most of the day.
That’s a very nice gift.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on receiving more stickers and candy! Did Dancer get anything? He should, you know. He always helps when you practice. 😀
Yes, it is a very nice gift, isn't it?
DeleteThank you; Dancer received an extra helping of tuna! He was very insistent that he got a treat!
I love that you get stickers and candy from your piano teacher!
ReplyDeleteI actually left without taking any candy, this time, but, she came running after me with them! LOL!
DeleteYour post reminded me that I never told you what my mystery package was last week when I wasn't home to sign for it. I had JUST ordered some special border stickers from a company in Great Britain. I've ordered from there twice before and both times the orders took roughly 3 weeks to arrive. This time it arrived in about 3 days, so I was not expecting it so soon. I was so excited to find out what it was...it was like getting a Christmas present.
ReplyDeleteI do my level best to keep the Canadian Postal service up and running. Every card I make is for the purpose of mailing out to someone, and that is because I think most people like to get a note card in the mail. We do appreciate our texting, phoning, and messaging, but I personally like to send and receive the occasional note in the mail. And packages?? Well, there is no greater joy.
How exciting to receive your order so quickly! I, too, try to keep our postal service in business! I still pay most of my bills by mail...which reminds me that I have a bill payment that needs to be mailed next week!
