I'm happy because I happened to be at just the right place at just the right time today. I was walking past one of the most beautiful historic houses in town. The gate is famous, they have pictures of it on postcards. They were having a yard sale and I had walked up to the gate to peek inside. I was in my historic dress from work and carrying my sewing basket. An artist was walking by and she asked to take my picture in front of the gate. She wants to paint me.

I am happy because...
...I just checked for Seekers at TWC and found it at rank 627...

Somebody seems to still vote...

I'm happy because I have such a sweet and faithful reader who cares so much about Seekers.

And I'm happy because Amazon gives me a 30,- Euro refund for the parts that were missing from my graphics tablet from the Warehouse. Now I can order the missing flexible tips AND still have money left to buy an audio drama or two as compensation.

I'm happy because...

- doll specialist Mimiwoo (www.mimiwoo.com) has all doll buttons on sale for half price! I ordered ~260 buttons for my sewing and can vouch for their superb quality, since I already got some in the past.

- because I bought the last missing male Monster High doll for my collection from Poland and it was just sent out! Now waiting for Invisi-Billy to be published this year too!

- just because I don't want to be sad all the time.

I'm happy because...

last week I have sewn wellness pants for myself and that was the very first time I've sewn something for humans. The pants turned out very good, albeit a tad bit too wide but the test run had looked okay so that came as a surprise. Still, I can wear them just fine and I adapted the sewing pattern for the next one. I also learned and tried a lot of new things during this project, e.g. it was the first time I changed the needle on the sewing machine and also the first time I successfully sewed Jersey. Finally I have a warm bum! ^__^
I already bought black nikki to make more pants for me and my husband gets new pajama pants from brown jersey.
