A couple days ago I got a package in the mail from @sugartoes. It had her newest project in it, a bag sock pictured above. I can honestly say it's unique and I'm looking forward to using it. I just need to figure out where I'm going to hang it.
Thanks @sugartoes for the wonderful gift.
Have you received any unique gifts in the mail? What was it?
Thanks for reading.

I'm thinking it's a bag to keep grocery or plastic bags in it for easy retrieval and to eliminate the mess those tend to have. If it's a bag for something else, then I figured wrong.

@MarshaMusselman .........Oh, maybe that's it. The way she has it it looks like a seat cover of some type. I really couldn't tell.

@just4him I didn't do a very good job on the bag but I know better now how to do it for if I need to make one next time. I had a easy to use sewing machine at the time that I do not have anymore so I usually see by hand now as I do not like trying to figure out the old heavy singer one I have.

@just4him - That is a lovely gift! What a fun surprise. I occasionally get unique gifts from our kids, but not very often from other people.

Have you known each other before meeting here? If not that is a great friendship. No. I have not received any surprises by mail so far.

I am still not sure what it's for? For plastic bags?

Not sure what a white noise machine is, but I'm glad it's useful.

Valerie, thanks. It is a machine that has many sounds on it. You can choose one and if not good try another. There are bird noises. It is really good and I am getting a 5th one. I have a terrible noisy neighbor above me and last night he was making so much noise before midnight and I wanted to sleep. I am the only one that hears him and how one person can make so much noise I wonder. He was scraping furniture at that time. What nerve he had. I heard him hammering one time early in the morning but I was already up. I needed my sleep. I do not understand people like that. He is exactly like the couple I had so much trouble with for two years. I have a feeling the man that shows the apartment just wants money and rents to whoeever. He is very noisy himself.

Wow very nice. I watched her video on them. That was very nice of her to send it to you. I am sure you will find the perfect place to hang it.

At first I couldn't figure out what a bag sock was. I'm not sure what they are called here, but I have one my mom used before we moved her out of her house. I hung mine near the microwave and back door. I have an old pencil sharpener in the side of the end of the cupboard there and it hangs from that. My mom put a nail of some type on the wall near her sink next to the hallway and it was cute there too.
I think it's cool that you got something from another member here.
So, I'm wondering did your area get the snow you were hoping for? Looking at the weather map it's hard for me to know whether it's hitting your area of Wisconsin or not. My husband thought our rain would be turning to snow tonight, but I don't think that will happen. I don't understand how it's raining though, since it's, well maybe not. I looked at the forecast and it said it was 33 but felt like 26. My thermometer says 39 and the sun's not shining on it. So, that's why it's raining.
Originally they were calling for snow early Monday morning, but I'm hoping if it does come it's either before then or after as I need to scoot to the hospital in the early hours of the morning.
Now, when I looked it doesn't show snow until Sunday the fifth. Course, when we look at the weather channel here, it shows something different on each device, so it's mainly wait and see.
Hope you got some of that snow though.
