I received a text message from Cass yesterday….
Cass: I have gifts for everyone, can you come and pick them up?
Me: Already have a bag as big as a house….can you bring?
Cass: I am not checking luggage. Don’t even have room for a needle and thread.
Me: They better be good gifts. Are you sure they will want them?
Cass: Yes.
Me: Really good? Cos they are already getting a lot of good stuff.
Cass: YES
——-
So I popped on over to Cass’ house this morning and picked up her teeny-tiny boxes of (albeit heavy) gifts.
Me: Not sure they are any good. Nobody will want them.
Cass: Yes they will want them. Just take them.
Me: Not very nice. Will just keep them all and find a use for them myself.
Cass: I know where you live. Have a good trip down.
Me: This time tomorrow I will be there.
Cass: Don’t rub it in.
Me: Have to clear out all the good stuff from the op-shops before you get there.
——-
So here’s what I picked up from Cass this morning….
60 Moleskin notebooks with vintage children’s illustrations stitched (by Cass) to the front.
Crap, huh? It’s okay. I will just keep them all for myself. Wouldn’t want to burden you all……
PS Thanks, Cass. They don’t look too bad at all. 🙂

Ha I should have made you pick up my Sample Swap goodies too then you would have had something to complain about.

Ooh! Tawny, Scrawny Lion! How are we going to be able to keep our kids away from these, they are gorgeous!
May 12, 2010 at 2:42 pm |
Hmmm, yeah, you’re right. Nobody will want them.
But it’s not fair that you’re stuck looking after it all. Just send them my way 😉

Oh no you don’t Sheridan, I’ll definitely be wanting one of those! How cute are they?
I bags the one with the deer, or the owl, or the dogs, or the lion, or the mouse, or the …….
Thanks Cass, these little notebooks definitely aren’t crap! LOL 😉
Enjoy the op shops Sheridan! See you on Friday. Oh, BTW, if we are coming on the shopping trip on Friday, do we need to RSVP to Nikki’s shindig, or have you let her know the bus numbers?
Thanks! 🙂

Far out Cass, I can’t believe you’ve made enough fairly nice gifts for everyone! The look great, can’t wait to see them for real. Renae

Thank you Cass – what a star – just so lovely!
May 12, 2010 at 3:04 pm |
She is insane! She has made sooooo much stuff! Thanks Cass.
May 12, 2010 at 3:18 pm |
Completely crap.
If necessary, I’ll take them all to the local tip (aka my place!!))
May 12, 2010 at 3:37 pm |
Oh those are cool. You know I’m only coming for all the goodies now, not the stitching at all!!!!
May 12, 2010 at 4:43 pm |
Unbelievable. I’m happy to help you “dispose” of them.
May 12, 2010 at 5:09 pm |
I think we’ll all need new luggage to get everything home after this weekend!
May 12, 2010 at 5:17 pm |
phew, she’s shown us a photo now so she has to share! THANKS Cass x
May 12, 2010 at 5:22 pm |
They’re all terrible. I’ll have to take them all and “dispose” of them.

Ok, so i have had a big week and I have wrenched some weird muscle in my back and work sux and i am exhausted….but that just makes me want to go a bit weepy…..
I am just hanging onto my sanity for Saturday!
May 12, 2010 at 6:48 pm |
oooh, and I have sent all the patterns to Nikki as well for you to collect on Friday night…
May 12, 2010 at 11:54 pm |
Wow…such generosity of goods and time. They all look great! What a big stash of kids illustrations/books you must have!
May 13, 2010 at 12:26 am |
Cass they are amazing! I see pictures from three books I remember as a kid – what was that fat lady from – a firemans book I think??
And of course the Tawny scrawny lion!
Hooray!

I am beyond excited – and your updates are making me drool! I worked at SnC show here in Melbs over the weekend and met a handful of others coming, so it’ll be great to walk in and recognise a few faces. I was too late for the swap, so have made my own name tag 🙂
May 13, 2010 at 6:53 pm |
Oh squeal! Cass, that’s superb – wow, how generous!
May 14, 2010 at 1:34 am |
