Last night I got home and I was feeling a little blah. It was rainy and gloomy and I didn't feel like doing much. Well, I perked right up when I saw a package from my SP13! I had Jim take pictures as I opened the packages, so you can click into any of the pictures to see even more. There was weird lighting going on in my kitchen so I had to adjust the exposure on some of the photos but they still look a little funny and so NOT photogenic. But they show how excited I was to get everything!
Here's me, ready to cut into the box:
Peering in...
One of my favorite things in the package - 4 skeins of Cascade The Heathers in teal. I'm thinking this will be perfect for Vienne from French Girl Knits!
Digging into the box
opening up another gift (it just so happened that my outfit matched the tissue paper!)
A pretty teal beaded shawl pin!
making an excited, but not so photogenic, face while opening up the LOVELY knit fabric
This fabric is going to make a great dress!!
Some great Lush products - I've never tried these!
To top it off, a really cute card that says "Friendship" and looks handmade!
Here I am with it all - we didn't get a good picture of the yummy Bliss milk chocolate or the cute little cupcake. It is really cool and looks like it was felted and hand-sewn into the little rubber muffin cup. Jim says it is a pincushion, but I couldn't stick pins in it - it's too cute!
I really love everything and plan to make immediate use of it ALL! Thanks again SP!
What a terrific package! Your SP obviously knows your taste perfectly.

What a phenomenal package! That fabric is the same one that I used to make Butterick 5246.

LUSH is fantastic! You lucky thing. . .
Are we sure you didn't sneak off and change into the matching clothes before opening the box?

That is one hell of a swap box! I use LUSH Karma Cream - it's my favorite! You will love that stuff. Can't wait to see what you do with the fabric...I started sewing last week....working on p.j. pants right now.
