Today I had planned to do a demo with my spinning wheel at an event in downtown, but my health dictated otherwise. I was sorely disappointed in this change of plans until I received a package in the mail from our Cookie.
I can’t remember why she sent me the package. Something about being the so many numbered commenter on her delicious blog. I can’t remember because I suffer from Chronic CRS. Either way, I was ecstatic over all the goodies she sent me.
Wanna see?
Hello Kitty swag.
I loves me my Hello Kitty swag. I do. I really really do. And what swag there is! The stickers! The notebook! The cute little pencil bag! She even included glittery pencils in the bag! And there’s a utility bag that had a pencil sharpener inside. How clever is our Cookie? Of course she knew that I would not have a way of using the pencils without one!
I’ll stop with the exclamation points now.
She didn’t stop with the spoiling there. Lookie what else was in the package.
yum.
I’m particularly looking forward to trying the Wasabi Soy Almonds. Mm. Wasabi.
Aren’t the stitch markers sweet? I’m a firm believer in the “You Can Never Have Too Many Stitch Markers” cult. It’s a spin off of the “Sock Yarn Doesn’t Count As Stash” church.
So thank you, Cookie. This package was timed perfectly.
I had one other perfectly timed package, which had another braid of merino from All Spun Up. Now, I tried to resist. Honestly, I did! It sat in her shop for nearly four days before I gave in. Four days shows considerable restraint for me, people!
merino from all spun up
It’s got all my favorite colors. Blue, green, and brown. I can’t wait to see how it spins up.
Finaly, I have a Saturday Sky to share with you.

Happy Saturday, everyone! Enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to enter my contest!*
P.S. Hint of the day for the contest is that all the answers lie within my Flickr pages.

Now THOSE are some goodies! You don’t happen to have a hello kitty mousepad do you? I saw some at work and thought of you lol…

You’re welcome! I am so glad it finally arrived.
You were commenter #8K and you said no to my offer of socks or lace. *L* Not that I blame you.
Beautiful sky and lovely roving!
I hope you’re feeling today, sweetie.

Isn’t she the greatest? I’m with you on the wasabi. YUM!
I’m sorry you had a rough one.

I am not a Hello Kitty fan because I like Mina No Tabo more … but I often buy HK stuff for my niece! :)

I’m no Hello Kitty fan, tho my sis is. I gave her a beautiful HK sigg bottle this summer.
Nice Saturday sky. I just came in from out under it.

Great swag! Lots of good stuff in there. Also, the beautiful blue sky looks like it should be on a postcard. Hope you are feeling much better soon!

What a great package! I’m not into Hello Kitty myself, but I love getting stuff in the mail!
I’ve never tried wasabi. I’ll have to give it a taste.

CRS?!?!? *snork* You are so good for my vocabulary :)
Myria is also fond of Hello Kitty but if I get her anything from the line, she won’t use it for fear of using it up/scuffing it/wearing it out. Sigh…
I’m still hesitant about browns though I notice a slight kindling towards warm, reddish tones. Your roving is lovely and, as usual, I imagine you will turn it into stunning yarn!
I hope you’re feeling better. Hugs!

Oh what a perfect package for you! Love the picture of the sky.
Feel better fast.

LOVELY goodies! But now I’m concerned that I’ve somehow become a member of a cult and a “church” without realizing it! Ahh…yarn and it’s goodies is a new religion?
Sounds good to me!
(((hugs)))

Nice goodies and lovely sky! Sounds like a perfect day.

Stitchmarkers totally don’t count. I could have billions of them and want more.
I hope your Fibromyalgia flare up flared down! Those goodies must’ve helped and that gorgeous yarn!
