Extending and Expanding...

It seems there's a whole lot of extending and expanding going on around here lately.

I've extended the deadline for entering the secret snail mail valentine giveaway through to midnight tonight (because so many people don't check their blogrolls on the weekends and I want to be sure everyone gets a chance), so be sure to email me at theshoppeowner@gmail.com with you choice of valentines you'd like (the black apple set or the vintage valentine cut out booklet) and your mailing address.

And, for those of you who have any interest in Project Mulberry Bush, I've expanded upon the whole "go for the GOLD" daily schedule thing, as well as opened up a post for an questions anybody might have as a Maiden of Mulberry.

For those of you lacking interest in either of those things, here is an adorable picture of one of Heather Bailey's darling elephants.
I am in love with so many of Heather's patterns. Not only would they be fun pincushions - as they are designed to be - but how sweet they would be as soft toys for a baby or toddler??? I want to make a herd of them. A gray one, a bright pink one, a white lacey one, a yellow one just like this... Sigh...

Have a lovely Monday! This is a new day! A new week! And still, practically, a new month! Hustle!

Blessings, Susan
