Warm Ewe Up Swap - Number 3

I just got back from my trip to Australia (more on that in another post) and I just received my 3rd package from my wonderful swap partner "AlwaysNancy". She is so thoughtful and so generous!

Here is the 3rd, lovely, amazing package! How sweet of Nancy to use the theme of spring – everything is so coordinated. I’m a bit confused on the seasons at the moment. In Australia they are going into autumn, and here it feels like summer!

The soaps are just darling and smell great – almost too nice too use. I have that bad habit of saving really nice things and not using them. Then my candles, soaps, etc., lose their scent over time, and that's a real shame. I will try to either use them or give them to someone who will !

I’ve never used Tofutsies sock yarn before, it will be fun trying it out. Such a pretty colour! Maybe for a certain future grandchild of mine ;-) And the Tilli Thomas silk in browns and greens is so luxurious – I will have to find something wonderful for that.

Jelly Bellies are a perennial favourite in our house, and I’m sure DH will be happy to share these with me.
And the pansies are great, one of my all time favourite flowers. Did you know that here in LA we call them winter flowers? Yup, we plant them in the fall and they bloom all winter. In spring it gets too hot for them and they die off.

Anyway, thanks so so much for the thoughtful, wonderful package -- this one and the 2 previous ones were all fantastic.
This swap (my first) has been a lot of fun, and I hope that Nancy had a good swap partner too.

Enjoy the springtime season!

Warm Ewe Up Swap -- First Package

So exciting !
I’m pleased to say that my swap package arrived today.

There is: gorgeous yarn (Hand Maiden Mini Maiden, silk and wool in a beautiful rich red), the great Yarn Harlot calendar, a knitter's magnet, and some oh so cute stitch markers. I love them all, and I especially appreciate the Canadian content.
I don’t have any silk yarn so this one will be a new one for me. The colour is absolutely gorgeous – great choice!
I also don’t have any decorative stitch markers, I currently use the very practical plastic ones but these are so much nicer. Love the mittens and scarf and socks – so much fun. And the magnet is great – can’t wait to brandish that!

I should say it all arrived in a very timely manner – I had a bad day (my foot is sore and has swollen up for no apparent reason) and I was kind of grouchy when I arrived home. So it was a nice treat to find this package waiting for me.

Thanks, secret pal! Ya done good !!
