Canada Post Strike (244)

Well ladies, this isn’t a post I want to do but thought I should get this info out there for everyone to know and be aware of as the time is starting near when I bundle up your block of the month kits for another month…but with this full strike there won’t be any mailing happening soon 🙁

From what I hear (local Post office said yesterday as well as my dh heard on the news yesterday) the union went into “talks” again on Monday…but if the Government orders them back work they have 72 hours so another 3 days before that happens…

Here’s the latest video clip I’ve found saying the back to work order was tabled, how frustrating for the small business’s of Canada.

If you have any insight for me, I’d appreciate the heads up!!

Thanks everyone.

Review: Vignette Issue 2 (243)

Sew for Issue 2 you’re in luck as it’s pretty much just as great as Issue 1 with more recipes, tantalizing photos, and inspiration..She’s gone and done it – made an awesome magazine…

Here’s your preview, thread that looks like you could just take it off the page…

This Raspberry Crumble makes my mouth water..yummy!

More inspiring photos…this octagonal english paper piecing looks like an awesome project…ooooh I must remember to save a copy for myself this round 🙂

Until next time, stay happy, make a good recipe and be creative…Valerie

Review: Vignette Issue 1 (242)

 

As promised, here’s my review of the Vignette Magazine by Leanne Beasley (remember she designed Journey of a Quilter)…I’m in LUV! I LUV the pictures, the colour saturation in the photos, the PHOTOS are amazing, the recipes, the full colours stitchery images, all of the projects and inspiration…here’s my review and your preview. I’ve sold out of all of my copies so far so good as they say…more en route because YOU just can’t get enough:)

How about curling up in this chair to do your stitching – looks perfectly comfortable for me and Tig!

this just says how I feel each and every day

Last but not least or should I say the main part of this mag is this incredible 16 part block of the month project starting from Issue 1. See Kathy’s start in this recent blog post, Show off YOUR Stuff, she may just inspire you.

If you’ve read this magazine I’d love to hear your review and if you’ve started the block of the month, please send me some pics…I haven’t decided if I want to start this now or next year Yikes…not sure what to do here as I can’t possibly add another block of the month to my existing 5!!! Until next time stay happy, dry, and creative! Valerie
