I've been sick for the past million years or so but I HAVE to go back to work today so that means back to working on pseudo_pix's thank you.  I figure even my last few germs won't be able to survive the long overseas trip Canada Post will put it through.   

I'm very lucky.   

I received from RhymeswOrange this week, yay.  I really don't understand how I can get a package from Denmark in 4 days but it takes 3 full weeks for something to cross the border from the US.  I really think Canada Post needs some European training.  But anyway, here's my awesome loot.

A crochet book and some yummy Burt's Bees stuff plus a beautiful, colourful tea wallet. 


A gorgeous, soft hat and scarf.  You know, I never make colourful stuff like this for myself thinking I'm more a dark/earth tones kind of chick, but I love it when people make them for me.  I haven't taken off the scarf in days. 


Handspun yarn!  Oh so lovely.  I need to come up with something very special to make with this.


Last but certainly not least, an art quilt inspired by my wist.  It's just so perfect.  I absolutely love trees and silhouettes and these beautiful blues and greens are my favourite colours.


Thanks so much RhymeswOrange.  It was just the perfect package for me.  I hope you like what I made you even half as much.   

I received from pseudo_pix on Friday, but today is the first time the sun has come out for (my attempt anyway) a good picture.  I still can't believe her package arrived from Denmark in 4 days!  It'll probably take Canada Post 4 WEEKS to get a package back to her.  Anyway, here's the loot.  Gorgeous sock yarn and bonus stuffing.  I think I'm going to make myself some lovely welly socks, mud season is almost here.    Thanks again pseudo!

This is not an April Fool's Day prank, I really received my box from Denmark today.  Four days to travel to Canada and yet Canada Post can't even get a package to the city closest to me (389 kms) in that time.  Maybe I should move to Denmark?  Thanks pseudo_pix!  I'll get pictures when I have daylight again.

AlishaMisha, very nice.  You can barely see the popsicle sticks.

I'm pretty sure it's over there somewhere *waves hand in artful manner*.

If this snow keeps up I'll just hitch the dogs up to the sled and haul the generator that way.  Always, could you just pick me up wherever the snow ends?

Awesome news everybody.

Any chance of trading a generator for a sleep space?  I'll be sneaking over the border so I won't get kicked out in six months but I could probably jump a fence or two with it strapped to my back.  I don't know where Nebraska is either so I'm going to need someone to pick me up in Minnesota.  I'll bring the road snacks.

Now, now... there will be no Awesome Crocheters vs. Plain Ol' Knitters fights on my watch!  You gals go snap your fingers in a musical manner at each other elsewhere, please.

Since knitting has totally jumped the shark already, that would make us Awesome Crocheters the Jets, right?

Oh I'm totally in, especially since the price tag will only be about $92.50 Canadian.  What a bargain.  The commute may be a little taxing though.
