Guess what just happened over here?
I drew (Or should I say REMEMBERED to draw!?) the winner of our October Quilty Box Gift-Away!
The October Quilty Box is curated by none other than Leah Day, someone I love and admire for all of the wonderful fun she is!
If there is a box full of Leah Goodies, I want one!
And full it is.
Just take a look at everything in this awesome box!
Just what will you make with these gorgeous heart medallions?
Matching thread, too!
More fun – make your own notions holder with any wide-mouth mason jar!
Also included are the self-threading needles from Clover, perfect for burying thread tails while machine quilting, and a sample packet of soak for keeping fine fabrics fresh.
Let’s not wait any longer – Who is winning this bundle?
We are searching for entry 824 of 3,993!

On the home front: I managed to make it to nearly 8pm without a nap, but it’s going to be an early night and hopefully a long sleep as I work my way beyond jetlag status and back to normal!
This came home from China.
I brought home some wonderful tea from Beijing, but reading the box is leaving me in fits of giggles!
Maybe I will flow more clearly tomorrow too?
*Disclaimer* Not making fun of anyone - I can't speak Chinese at all so bilingual folks are one up on me, but I thought this was funny.
Have a good night, everyone!

....still giggling....😆
Oh mercy! Too funny! Wish it was printed on fabric! Lol.....
That's awesome, some things do really get lost in translation. I think the tea company needs a better marketing person. So glad you had fun, and I really enjoyed seeing your trip. Hugs to your family and DH's for their journey.
I’ll say this for them, they really tried. I hear sincereity in it, but don’t quite follow all the thoughts. Lol. Glad you are home safely. Get some rest.
Bonnie, what kind of tea is that? (and I am really wondering) But, I was struggling to read the label to, thought maybe the picture did not show it all, then read you were laughing at the translation. So, if I can figure out what kind of tea this is, maybe I can have "some flow more clearly tomorrow to" right along with you!! LOL
New Header!!! It's coming :-)
too cute American Ginseng!!!! you brought it all the way home from China!!! You do know how to tease us dear Bonnie Hunter! Heckfire, it's YOUR blog you do what you want (and you DO) and I'm getting a bit antsy, so this is good, we should be getting colors soon... and I need to get the binding and label on En Provence!!! thanks again for all you share with us... sleep well.. Cats
Are you sure it’s tea? Looks like the baby rabbits got in there too (lol).
This mystery has some beautiful colors.
Funny about the instructions on the tea. I remember seeing those signs as well on my trip to China. I saw a story on one of the major networks over the weekend. The reporter was in China covering a story about the Chinese hiring some people to fix the English translations on signs around the country. One example that was shown that I remembered was for a men's room with ADA capability (The sign showed a man in a wheelchair and it said: "Deformed Men's Room). Here is the story if anyone is interested: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chinese-government-embarrassed-by-poor-english-translations-issues-guidelines/

Well done Bonnie. It is ok to have fun and make a joke without the intention of offending. I like to have fun with the translations written on packages too. I am Australian and to us a thong is something we wear on our feet in summer yet I know you have another meaning for the word and we both speek English.
