You should crochet that yarn immediately!    Did I tell you that it is a superwash merino?  I don't think I did!  Anyways, enjoy!

Yes you did - and I have no idea what that means! haha! I have never had such lovely yarn! I am not so patiently waiting to see if I got a job I interviewed for in Virginia (i have to wait until TUES OR WED!! I may not survive the weekend!) if so I will need more warm things. I was contemplating using this yarn for someone else, but I am so not going to! heehee

ha ha!  Good for you and good luck on the job!  I have been job hunting for 6 months . . . no fun.  Of course, this leaves lots of time for spinning and sewing and knitting and crocheting . . .   If a yarn is labeled "superwash" that means it won't felt easily and can be put through a light wash in a washing machine (delicate cycle).  "Merino" is a kind of wool -- very soft and squishy!  Superwash items will shrink over time and heavy duty washing is out.  I hope you'll let me know what you make from your yarn!

AH! That makes so much sense! I will definitely let you know what I make. It is so darn pretty - I love all the colors!

I received an awesome package from Averia!  She sent me five little handbound notebooks and an altoids tin filled with fabric covered tacks!  



I just love the cheery fabrics she used on the tacks!!!!  

The notebook covers are just my style.  Each notebook is neatly stitched and they contain different papers:

 

Thank you, Averia, for your craftsmanship and for this sweet and useful package.  I love it!

Sorry, no.  Your birthday package will not be NEARLY that exciting.

Ifaithfulraindrops I hope they match your new home. I'm sorry I couldn't send the inserts for you too, but they are just too big and bulky to send from Australia! The pillowcases appealed to my inner geek!

I got a great package from SMLounsbury for my son a couple days ago. 
He got an angry birds shirt, a crochet angry bird, and I got 2 spools of cotton thread.

Thank you so much.  We love it.

Here is a picture of the awesome hair curlers that fishstixx sent to me last week (ive been having camera issues hence the late pictures).  These are so fantastic and thank you so much for taking the time to make me something I have been too lazy to do myself (sad sad sad but true)

I was so thrilled to open the box and find these!!!!


They are perfect and though I havent used them yet I look forward to it.  Exactly what i wanted!!  Thanks!!

I'm so glad you liked them!  I had to actually learn how to use the buttonhole function on my machine for these, so I learned something in the process!  And because I was running up to the last minute on these guys, my boyfriend got to learn how to sew on buttons to help me out  .  I hope they make your hair look fabulous!
