Wow! Spoiled Again!

My SP has spoiled me once again.....this time, it's an early birthday present - a felting extravaganza!

Whew....where do I start? The package contained two books: Pursenalities and Vogue Felting on the Go. There was a lovely pattern for a Faire Isle bag tucked inside as well. The bag's really cute....it's a bucket type bag that looks like it will have plenty of room to carry knitting projects.

The really awesome thing is that the package also contained a whole project's worth of wool yarn in all kinds of purple, mauve, and maroon.......so I can just sit down and start on the Faire Isle bag immediately! The wool is "Wool of the Andes" from Knit Picks......I've been wanting to try their felting wool out....and now I have the chance!

There was also a jumbo box stuffed with chocolates .......to keep my "strength up" while I work on the bag. Oh....and these were not just "any chocolates"....they were "Extra Dark" chocolate! And I LOVE dark chocolate!!!!! (It's heart healthy too!)

I can't wait to get started on this! (But, I have to wait.....I'm working on a bag right now for a friend - we've bartered crafts skills.....she's making me a hand-painted stool, and I'm felting her a bag! I love it when things work out like this. Another friend sent me the latest Hedge Hog pattern from Fiber Trends....and I need to make that and post a picture of that as well)

Thanks sooooo much Secret Pal! You're the greatest! You really know how to spoil someone!
