People - prepare to be dazzled!

I received from Aphie today and luckily I was home because the postie delivered this:

which I IMMEDIATELY had to open because I'm studying and it was a totally welcome break!   Besides which, it was wrapped like a present, how could I resist?!

Inside was:

Firstly, a lovely note with care instructions for "sleep sheep":

Upclose of the sheep:

and of the lavender insert to help me sleep:

and the note included details about the milk and coffee grounds soap she made me:

Then there was the SOFTEST black scarf for winter motorbike rides, only perdified:

and the obligatory action shot (which shows the bead colours more realistically):

with some bracelets underneath:

One says "Follow your bliss" and the other is kind of like prayer beads - pearl, and smooth and mighty purdy.
And at the bottom of the box:

which is really funny because guess what kind of socks I'm wearing today:

(please disregard my pasty knee, I don't do tans and it's winter here!)
And one action shot of the BESTEST RAINBOW PANTS IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE (which I will be wearing for the rest of the day because they're flannel and more comfortable than my jeans!:D):

They're a great fit, hipster-style!

Jealous yet, peeps?    

This has been a great swap; thanks so much Aphie for being an awesome partner and lightupmyroom for organising!

Oh ceilidh I'm SO glad they fit! They are low hipster - I realised this after I made myself a pair (which I HAD to do, after making yours - how could I resists 'em?).

I'm so glad you got it, and liked it. I had SO much fun making everything - just the crafting was a positive energy shot in the arm!

[_Suicidal_Angel_]

then you put on the "Rainbow pj pants of Doom" (not the most happy title but still) and then you are smiley again!

[aphie]

*clears throat*

Three o's. It's from the Very Secret Diaries of Elrond (look it up, it's hilarious!). It's Dooom in a good way!
