What I want to share as my favourite today is all my creative friends both real and 'imaginary' (those would be the ones I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting).
This week has been a lot about the special people out there who encourage me through their own writings on blogs and in print, and through the comments they leave on my posts here.
I received two special packages this week -
after winning a give away over at RicRac
I got this big box (the box is way out of proportion to the contents and surely if they are going to pay for all this space they could have filled it with something more interesting than bubble wrap) containing
Nikki's new book - see here it is.
Now I have had the pleasure of meeting both these lovely ladies who are very generous in sharing their knowledge and tricks.
After a recent post I had a generous offer from Liri to share with me some threads that she had no use for and these lovelies arrived in my mailbox this week.
Let me just say I have begun with the big red ball and am enjoying using this gorgeous thread, all should be revealed soon I hope.
Thanks ladies for sharing so generously.
Now this here is a picture of something I have been working on - I'll get a clearer one to share later but the creative friendly goodness continues this weekend as I am off to the Daylesford Craft Experience with some real life stitchy friends.
The guest designers for the weekend are Jodie, Melly and Kristen - should be lots there to inspire me to pick up a sewing needle again.
There may be some stitching with needle and thread this weekend, but I guess I'll have to wait and see?
You can see who else is playing favourites today here.
Have a fabulous weekend however you choose to spend it.

Isn't it funny how the giveaway books were sent out in such huge boxes! What are you going to make first?
I should be better at sending packages to friends because it is so great receiving things, isn't it?
Happy FTF!
I love packages of any kind and crafty ones would be especially fun!
How delightful! I love receiving mail. My most favorite package was the one Shay sent me from Australia. :o) Fabulous favourite! Happy FTF!
Have a great time at Daylesford. Friends are definitely a favorite of mine.
