| Dale! I'd "spool" with you anytime!!! |
So...I called the toll-free number. Some mechanical voice tells me I'm #782 in the queue. Ok, I'm exagerrating a little. Actually I couldn't tell WHAT number I was because the auto-person apparently had marbles in their mouth. So I got online at fabric.com (where I was #1 in the queue - yay!) and chatted with "Janelle." I explained what happened. She said she would check and see if it "may be able to be a gift." About an hour later (I'm exaggerating again, but only a little) she came back on and said "we can actually retrieve it back from you" and instructed me to put it in the box it came in and leave it outside for Dale UPS to pick back up.
Sigh...it was sooooo pretty - like a box of funny-shaped Easter Eggs...but if I didn't pay for them, I really couldn't enjoy them, and would have most likely stuffed them under that huge pile of UFOs in the corner, never to see the light of day because I would have felt too guilty to use them.

ohhh pretty my Dale I mean UPS man brought a box from Fat Quarter Shoppe Lovely set of fat quarters and 2 yards of lady bug and 1 yard of sunflower fabric. I feels so soft better than spooning with Dale I am sure. I hope to do a Disapearing 9 square quilt ( I think that is what it is called) Oh I am impressed with your honesty You are one fine human
This post is so hilarious! I love it. What integrity you have sending that thread back. That is awesome. I love your yarn and can't wait to see what you make. I looked at Hobby Lobby to see if they had the peaches and cream. They didn't. But I did see the sugar and cream. There is a difference. For sure. Have fun crocheting!
Nadine I love you your posts always crack me up :) Its refreshing that you are that honest to send those pretty threads back, lol 34 bucks for that box huh thats a tad bit crazy no wonder they wanted a return. hope your crocheting goes better than mine is so far my dishcloths are coming right along though:)
