Spoiled Rotten!!!!

So I woke up this morning and my husband brought me a package which was delivered yesterday! It was my package from my spoiler! So I started ripping it open. It came nicely wrapped but I didn't take pictures until the end. I couldn't wait to dig in lol.

The first thing I pulled out was this. I wasn't sure what it was at first but after I pulled it all out I found out it was a quillow. Its a quilt that folds up into a pillow. It is the coolest thing ever! I love it!!!!!


Next I got this amazing yarn! The ravenclaw colors are awesome and its sooo soft! My husband was laughing at me as I caressed it. :) The other yarn was handdyed by her!!!! It's called rainbow frosting. I'll think of her when I knit with it because she makes these amazing cupcakes and blogs about them! It is so awesome. I can't wait to start knitting with them!





I love the Favorite Socks book. I wanted a copy too! It's like she could read my mind! :)





I'm excited she sent me two sets of needles!!! Now I can try knitting socks on two circulars. I can't wait!








She sent me hand lotion which smells great and this awesome traveler mug with a knitted picture in it! It's so cute and I do love my coffee! She also sent me some tissues with a J on them and a little recipe book full of gourmet sandwiches. My husband was excited. She also sent a little tin with cute stitch markers and little tags I can attach to my knitting when I give it away (they say made by and who they are for). She also sent some Ghiradelli chocolates which I'm pretty sure will be gone by tonight.





The card she sent was sweet. This is the whole she-bang on my couch. I love it all so much! Thank you so much Ferula! I love it and am SOOOO happy! :)



Here is the aftermath, a picture of my destruction if you will....



THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN! It will all be well loved! :)

Knitting Update!


Well a little more than just a knitting update but we can start there. So I finished my sister's Tyrolean Stockings. YAY! I hope she will like them. I figure if anything they have OSU's scarlet in them. Yay team spirit! I think I'm going to make another pair in grey for my other sister. More OSU team spirit.
This weekend was a lot of fun. J, Dan and I went to the Admirals game, our local hockey team. It was fun but we lost 4-0. That was pretty lame. Oh well. Then Saturday we went camping with Dan and Jimmy and the dogs. Our evil dog decided to roll in horse shit. Yeah it was pretty gross. Thankfully there was a spicot right on our site so with water and paper towels we were able to get him cleaned up and not smelly. Then Jimmy's dog Daisy decided to wander around camp all night while we were sleeping. She tried to take our tent out. So not much sleep was had but it was still fun. I managed to wrap up and shove everything into my spoilee's box. I just need to make a card and send it out by the 7th. I hope to have it out by tomorrow but we shall see.
