Perpetua Phoenixfire's Owl Should Be Flying on Monday...

At least I hope it will be. I am still waiting for a couple of items to be delivered for my Swap Pal's Package. If they were smaller items, I would send off her kit before they arrive and send them on to her seperately..but they are some of the major components..grrrr. I hope the package arrives either today or tomorrow with them..then I can get it off to her in Monday's Owl post..otherwise, it may be a few days late. 8-(

I am sure everyone is enjoying their packages as they are arriving..I know I really loved mine!

Patonga Pinkstone is the Best!!!

I just have to rave about how wonderful my swap partner Patonga Pinkstone is! I received her package last week, but my camera was without a battery and I needed to document everything that she sent...in all their wonderful glory! It began with a wondrful note and some delicious M&M's..even the packages were Hufflepuff yellow! Next came a beautiful satin ribbon wrapped yellow bundle of goodness! It included a beautiful handmade bag from a great floral fabric. Inside the bag were more packages, all individually wrapped in black, yellow and silver tissue paper. There were beautiful stitch markers, a fabulous pendant with a knitting design on it, a teeny tiny potions bottle charm, some pretty yellow note cards and great knitting project tags. There were not just one, but two great circular needles...one an addi turbo and the other a Harmony wood circular. There was a gorgeous skein of the softest yellow and grey yarn that is just yummy! But perhaps my most favorite part of the entire package was the book of patterns that Patonga put together for me. She created an "A to Z" sock pattern book that contains a pattern for every letter of the alphabet. Most of them are new to me, and everyone of them is awesome! I have no idea which one I will choose for knitting with the wonderful yarn that she sent me. I am truly overwhelmed!!! Patonga rules! Here are some photos of the goodies she spoiled me with! Thanks again Patonga!!!

Sorry Fellow Hufflepuffs

Dear Hufflepuff Housemates;

I am so sorry that I haven't been around to post this past week on the blog..and therefore caused us not to have 100% participation this week. I had to go out of town for a death in the family, so I wasn't able to post. I also want to apologize to my secret swap partner for not responding to her email. She has mailed my package and I wasn't home to receive the notice to pick it up until today. I will post again as soon as I open it!

Again...apologies all around. I am so behind in my studies now...I must remedy that!
