Much in the way of weather has been wacky around here. In fact, today my neighbor came to the door with the mail I had put in the mailbox to be sent....he found it soaking wet in his front yard! Seems that the wind had blown the mailbox open and sent it across my yard, about 200 feet or so. Good thing he found them too- one was my mortgage payment! Also in the mailbox, soaking wet, was my latest sold ETSY item (The Lady of the garden set sold the day I listed it!). It didn't get blown away but it needed to be repackaged. Needless to say, I will be aquiring a new mailbox soon. We can't have precious packages getting blown about can we? Especially when wonderful things like these are finding their way to my house...
That's right! "I'm in the garage" has been very busy creating some special shuttles for me. The significance of the train is that Reverend Awdry is the one who wrote the Thomas the Tank engine stories. Well, my three year old daughter is in love with Thomas so when I got wind of
Sally's posession of the wood mentioned in the above picture, I quickly contacted her to obtain these special shuttles.
Here you can see a few of the things that came in this wonderful package. Three post shuttles, the two with woodburning on them are similar, both have a train on one side and my daughter's name on the other. I plan on ....ehem "breaking them in" for her and then teaching her to tat with them when she reaches a suitable age. The butterfly shuttle is mine all mine all mine MwAHAHAHAHAhahaaaa.......... Sorry, got carried away there. Sally also sent some birthday decorations for Ivria's next birthday, a nice green pouch, and a BEAUTIFUL tatted butterfly bookmark. Just the nicest package to brighten one's day! Sally and 'm in the garage were kind enough to send me these shuttles in exchange for a box of wood that I thought might be suitable for making shuttles. I must say, I have aquired some of the most unique (and long distance!) friendships through this thing called tatting. Thank you Sally and the ever intrepid "I'm in the garage"!!!!
More about the shuttles once I've given them a good test drive :-)

Thanks for sharing your wonderful things. Have a great day!
Hee, heeeee, I saw the package before it left. In fact I mailed it!!! SO glad it arrived safely and so quickly too.
So pleased you liked the gifts, I had great fun in finding something to do with Thomas the Tank Engine! Look forward to your comments about the shuttles, there is another one in the pipe-line that "I'm in the garage" is making using the wood you sent, its even better!
Also sorry to hear about your parcel blowing away, my goodness it would have been terrible if that had got lost after all your hard work.
Great package, love the shuttles. Awful having your post blow away, jeepers, doesn't bear thinking about.
