In the past week, I received two unexpected packages in the mail. The first package was from Lori and it was a late birthday present. My birthday in in October, but as Lori said in the card, “better late then never!”
She sent me three gorgeous batts from Enchanted Knoll Farm in the Margarita colorway.
The other box was from Lisa and it was so chock full of goodness I couldn’t fit it all in one shot. The woman obviously knows my fixation with all things Hello Kitty.
Do you see the little blue ball? It’s a felt ball! It’s the cutest thing. It has a little sheepie on it and it can be used as a keychain or as a stitch marker holder. My love for it rivals the Hello Kitty swag.
And she didn’t stop there. Lisa also included the most gorgeous Blue Face Leicester roving from Yarn Hallow in the Seattle colorway. The colors are perfect!
There might have also been a box of the most delicious Dutch cookies ever, but you can’t prove it by me.
Thank you Lisa and Lori! The two of you really know how to spoil a girl. :)
Happy Wednesday! I hope you all get a chance to spoil yourselves.

Do those two want to adopt a purple octopus?
And why didn’t you ever tell me about your Hello Kitty fixation? I was living in Japan! I could have sent you everything Hello Kitty (although the coffee maker was a bit bulky).
