sunshine state of mind
my old co-worker angie and her partner carry (of fairie knits) are part of my knotty knitters group. carry is one of the few as obsessed with knitting as i am (dare i say, maybe even more!!!??). so after a slight delivery debacle, i received my very knitter friendly birthday gift from them in the mail yesterday. i had no idea the splendor that awaited me.
blue. sky. ahhhhhh. i can't stop touching the stuff, this yarn is sooo soft. they got me the fixins for the baby bobbi bear, two skeins of the perfect pink cotton yarn (how can cotton be so soft?) and a skein of brown sport alpaca for the eyes. and of course the pattern. i love it! what a super treat. how generous and sweet and thoughtful.....i could gush for hours. thanks guys, you know me well! :)
as if i haven't shown you enough of my goodies, i have more! i really have felt very spoiled over the past couple weeks. i am so lucky! megan over at lovely purls (i LOVE the colors of her blog!) needs a big thank you for such a "sweet" gesture. she sent me cupcake lip gloss! cupcake! did you see that? cupcake! not only do i love cupcakes, but i have a major thing for lip gloss. i keep a tube almost everywhere (holly has bubblegum lip smackers in stock at all times, at my desk i have pink lemonade and in my purse, orange crush). basically, i put lipstick on in the morning, but after that, it is all about the lip gloss. so this is just so perfect in many ways! she also made the card for me, which is so thoughtful. it is a keeper. and of course, a handmade by her, crocheted orange flower pin. i will be wearing that to work tomorrow! thanks megan!!!
i am still knitting the pinwheel blanket. it is slower now that i have about 500 stitches on the needles. but i think i am doing well. this weekend i am going to take a break from it though and use some of the new yarn (which do i choose?) to whip up a little summery scarf. that will give you a little something more interesting than the blanket to look at!
i have one more birthday gift i want to share with you because it is handmade by my dear friend denise. i also had a commenter post that she was going to donate a pinwheel blanket to charity in honor of my birthday. HELLO! you guys rock! i'll be posting more on that stuff soon. take care you guys. i am feeling a bit overwhelmed with trying to keep up with my life right now, but i am adjusting slowly...
p.s. also working on the goodtobegirl.com move, so keep it in the back of your mind that my url will be changing soon

You have such generous and thoughtful friends.
Who knew that hostess makes lip gloss? I too am a super fan of the gloss...and cupcake gloss sounds yummy-licious.
Yay!!! It made it! :) Oh, and Ang says that I am in no way more obsessed than you!!! ;) (but then has she *really* seen all of my yarn? patterns? books?) However, I am be proud to be called "as obsessed" as you!!
Once again, happy birthday sweetie!!!
Cupcake lipgloss sounds like a little piece of heaven!
Enjoy all of the wonderful gifts, Amy girl :)
