3rd package thak-you!!

I recieved my final package from Okitten thank-you!!! I am assuming the clothes go with the cow?? the girls will love that!! there was an awesome sheep tote, a sheep stuffie that's already above my comp, sheep notecards, magnets she made (very cute) and beautiful silk/mohair yarn in a gorgeous purple mix :) Thank-you for making this such a fun swap!!

Package #3!!

I am slow to post this weekend ... I received my final package from Shannon!! And what a package it is!!


There was a HUGE roving that I estimate to be about 50 lbs. ;-) It's a blend of chevoit, shetland, and corridale -- it's so soft and lofty, I want to take it to sleep with me. To go with it, there is a lovely pink and black swirly drop spindle!! There is a Voltaire CD that I've been listening to non-stop, and the cutest little black and white sheep stitch markers. She also sent a sweet card and some strawberry candies (yummmmmmmm!). Lastly, there was an adorable pattern for a knitted sheep that uses U-bolts for the legs so it will stand up!


Unfortunately, due to ferret interference in the photo shoot, I wasn't able to get good pictures before my camera battery died. I thought I was being clever to set things up on the table, but Houdini reminded me that she is a very quick and quiet table-climber. (The roving is unharmed.)

This exchange has been so awesome ... Shannon is a fantastic pal and I was so lucky to be her giftee. She was the impetus for me to pick up a spindle and start spinning. I hope I get a chance to show her a Texas LYS someday ... :-)



THANK YOU, SHANNON!!

Showin some Pal Love!!!

thank you Shannon!

This post will be quick because I am on my way out the door to visit a friend then to the beach with my mom for a week (no internet). Then I'm MOVING to Houston from my mom's house in Birmingham, AL & stopping along the way to visit my pal - Shannon - who is spoiling me rotten & I'm loving it.

The pictures are crappy because it's storming a little outside which is EXCELLENT because we've had a bit of a drought here.

First we have some Noro Silk Garden in colorway 247 - I'm going to make a scarf this next week - I'll post here when it's done. :)

Homemade soaps (black tea !), lotion bar (dark chocolate) & lip butter - YUM-O!

Rebecca home knitting magazine (lots of great patterns) & some notecards & stationary & such.


Thank you Shannon!

Woops!

I got my third package awhile ago and completely forgot to say so on here! Since my computer is a bit whacked out right now, just check out my blog to see the goods.

Package #3!!!

I got my third package today from the lovely Scarlett. I’ll try to get pictures up later in the week, when I can round up a camera that works.

In the package was a skein of Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool in a very nice green shade, two shirts (they totally rock!!!), a great notebook, some hair pins, a bar of Ghirardelli Chocolate (yum!!!), a great card,and a tin of hand cream (that got mangled in the mail…)

Thank you so much Scarlett!!!

ETA: I totally forgot the copy of the "Dead and Breakfast" soundtrack! The girls and I have been dancing around the house, and the Husband has ripped it to his Zune!
