Joe Joe worked his Mo Jo

Back at the end of December I blogged about the Joe Joe that Candace sent me which is supposed to bring good luck selling a house.   I had put my Mom’s house on the market at the beginning of December.  My brother lives in the same Del Webb Sun City development that she did, so I sent Joe Joe home with him after Christmas to place in my Mom’s house, hopefully bringing us some good luck.   I suspected that he might keep Joe Joe for himself since his house was also on the market.  

Well, just one week later we got an acceptable offer on her house.   Come to find out…my brother hadn’t put Joe Joe at my Mom’s but had put it in his own house.   I say…Karma’s a bitch!  LOL  

Happy ending though.   He has a contract on his house which came last week.   So, Joe Joe worked his Mo Jo on both houses.   Thanks Candace for sending him to me and thanks to Monica for designing and making “Hello Joe Joe”.   I’ll be passing him along when I go back to California to finish cleaning out the house.

And some more good news (at least for me anyway).   I FINALLY got the red border fabric for A Tisket a Tasket.   After all my searching, Karen at Farmhouse Woolens ended up having it.   I could have saved myself alot of time if she had just told me so to begin with.  LOL.

I really like the way it turned out.   I think the red was worth waiting for.  What do you think, Mary? 

Hugs, Anne

A couple of weeks ago I got a couple of packages in the mail.

Candace of Squash House Quilts sent me this Hello Joe Joe that helped sell her house. It was sent to her by Monica, Happy Zombie, after her house sold using St Joe. So, now I have it and hopefully it will help us sell my Mom’s house in Calif. Thanks Candace.

I gave it to my brother to take back to Calif with him. I’m a little worried about it actually making it to my Mom’s house since his house is also on the market. LOL

Then, I got the nicest surprise from Mary at Quilt Hollow.

My, what could be lurking in that cute little sewing pack?

Check it out! The card had a packet of hot cinnamon spice tea. Perfect for a cold snowy day. There’s a spool of thread of a packet of Foxglove Cottage “sharps", a nail file and note pad. Now, how sweet is that? Thanks Mary! (It won’t be long till we can share our little venture…wink, wink.)
