Some of you know that I have taken on the challenge of my first Afghan swap! It is a year long swap with the same partner. Three packages are sent out from each partner. The first two are smaller and filled with goodies, the last one (in December) is an afghan that we have been working on for the other person. Also, the last box is filled with goodies. I just sent out my first package (which she received) and I got my first one from her!
I wish you all could have been there for my happy dance when I opened my package the other night! Even though I was expecting it, it was a very nice surprise and I am so excited for everything in it! So, here we go!
First up is three skeins of beautiful yellow yarn! So soft :) I already have some ideas brewing of what I might do with this. Thank you, so much, Bonnie!
Next! I have a beautiful Crochet magazine filled with so many more project ideas and I wonder how long it will take me to make them all! There is a really cute dress I want to make my niece, that I found in there. Also, she sent a Rainbow Ripple Baby blanket, 12-pointed star. I am so excited for this because I think thiss will be perfect for my cousin, who just had a baby! (I might use some of the yarn I got, for this :) ). Also, a yummy recipe for hot chocolate
cake 
! She just combined two sets of words I love “Hot Chocolate” and “Cake”. I can’t wait to try this!
Next, we have more yummy yummies! My husband grabbed the choclate cherries and ran off with them, the moment he saw them in the box. Hahaha! Right now, I am sipping some yummy orange tea. It feels so good after a night of rain.
Up next….
Some beautifully made, hand knitted, cozy socks! These my hubby can’t steal mwahahahaha! And if he does, I will know it. (we have sock wars)
And Last, but certainly not any less exciting….A sewing kit that I can stick in my purse and take with me, when I have projects that call for buttons or when accidents happen at work (or anywhere for that matter), a pom-pom maker! I have been wanting to try one of these things out because I like the look of the fuzzy things on hats, but it has been so fun trying to figure out how to make one and yarn just gets everywhere. I am hoping that this helps! And a little wallet with a crown on it. :)
Thank you, Bonnie (Panther)! I love absolutely everything that was in this package and I am excited for the future two.
