FFFF - February Fun For Friday

Happy Friday!

My miscellaneous "fun" file is overflowing so here is a bunch of very random stuff for February.

I received this Edger Allan Poe mug for Christmas.  Thank you, Margaret, I love it.

What a FUN surprise on the bottom.  I wonder how many have noticed it.....

I got a great Johnny Cash T-shirt on sale.  Check out this little label.
 No purpose, just free cuteness.   Thanks Lucky.  I really get you.
What to do with it?  When in doubt, it goes into the thread shelf with other weird trinkets and toys I've picked up.
Couldn't pass up trying these.  I give them a thumbs up.
New from Pillsbury.   From the mall, to the airport to a grocery store near you.
Thanks, Mary, for these wonderful socks~  I love your graphic gift tape too!
I received a hostess gift  (and I didn't even hostess last weekend).   Thanks Kayte, these place mats are perfect for Buck Hill Road.

A guild friend asked me to share her Custom Fashions for the American Girl and other 18" dolls.   Pat's kits come with pre-printed panels, notions and instructions to make these special custom designed outfits.  To see all the designs visit her  Etsy Store and Facebook  page.   Pat has developed very unique and creative designs for all seasons and occasions.


I received this lovely surprise pin cushion from Mary Beth.  We became friends through Jill.  Thanks you MB I'll treasure this!  I love the ribbon detail.
And for those in the coco fan club - here's my baby sitting in the snow.  I suppose she is wondering what happened to all the soft green grass.

Happy Friday!  Have a fun weekend~

Super gifties! Poor Coco..she looks a bit confused...my son shovels a path and a "privy place" for his 'Kota; they have had over 4 feet of snow--even our "big girl" 'Kota would disappear in that! Have a fun weekend...hugs, Julierose

Cute gifts People are so creative in all different fields. I saw Gumby on your thread shelf. Sweet. Hope your Friday of Fun continues throughout the day.

First of all, the quilting in your header photo is gorgeous!
I love clever packages and labels. The bottom of the mug is a hoot, and kudos to whomever decided to do the "record label".
Just had my first Cinnabon on a quick trip to Colorado last week. I indulged because I knew I couldn't get them at home and just wanted to try a mini. I hope they don't come to a store near me--too much temptation!
Your friend's doll clothes are amazing!

So much FFF! Poor Coco, I hope green grass isn't too far off. The American Girl clothes are super cute!

Your posts always bring a smile to my face. I love your thread cabinet with all of the fun objects added.

Enjoyed reading your entry today! Love that your trinket shelf is organized by color! The pincushion is a lovely momento of friendship!

Karen said...

What a fun February post. Do you still have snow?

Janet said...

You sure know how to have fun on Fridays :0) What great stuff! I love the little record - is it for real - like could you play it on a record player? The thread shelf is wonderful!

Those are cute gifts. I guess if you haven't had your coffee yet, you do need to know that you need to use the other side for best results. LOL. Love your thread shelf and all the fun stuff on it.

Me and My Stitches said...

Wow - that's a lot of fun mail! Poor Coco - he looks sad sitting there getting snowed on! We have a new truck stop "in town" (I live 12 miles from town) and they sell Cinnabon - soooo good, but sooooo bad! DH stopped a few times and brought some home. Glad we don't live any closer!

Linda O said...

What a load of fun for a Friday! Your thread shelf is a work of art - I love all the fun things displayed on there!

Those fun gifts will have added colour to your snowy days. Those moose socks are so cool!! Red velvet oreos look too good, I saw a recipe for red velvet pancakes recently and thought they sounded good too. Your thread shelf is wondeful all sorted into colours and little surprises. Poor Coco, it wont be long before the grass is back.

Love the socks! Never tire of your randomness and interest in so many things. Just once I'd like to surprise you with something you've never seen before or collected along the way! I bought one of the dress panels. It was easy to sew and came out great!

I saw the red velvet Oreo cookies advertised on television but had forgotten all about them. I like Red Velvet Cake. Mostly because of the cream cheese icing. Wonder if I can find the cookies.

Angie said...

I love collections of little "weird" stuff! I needed to know about the Cinnabons before Lent lol! Hope you and Coco see some harbingers of Spring soon!

Val's Quilting Studio said...

I too love the addition of trinkets to your thread shelf. Your poor dog...he looks so sad. :) My favorite thing after snow melt is when our pup finds bones from last Fall!!

Aunt 'Reen said...

What a FUN post this was! I love all the wonderfully eclectic treats and treasures! Your Thread shelf is AWESOME...really love those throw back trinkets mixed in! Also enjoyed seeing your coco baby sitting there wishing for Spring!

Janet said...

Great post, I imagine Coco is sick of snow too? I'm loving the thread shelf and all the goodies.

What fun I've had catching up on your posts Barb! Happy Belated Anniversary! I looks like you've had great fun this past week -- full of lots of surprises (love that buck on the wall!) And lots of snow -- have fun with Orange Crush -- we got one a few years ago and it changed my little snow-shoveling life!

fiberchick said...

Super gifts! Actually your dog looks like she is philosophizing on the nature of snow or winter itself:)

Carrie P. said...

poor coco, where to piddle?
pokey and gumby!!!!
do the cinnabon rolls taste as good as getting them right from the shop?

QuiltSue said...

I wish we got Pillsbury stuff here, we used to get some things, years ago, but not now.
Poor Coc looks as though she's trying to decide whether she's confused or just fed up!
