Swap Pictures - finally!

Here they are!  I finally figured out how to upload pictures with my new computer!!!  These are the wonderful dishcloths that Cindy C sent me for the Defeat the Winter Doldrums Swap.  Aren't they cute!  
 

She also sent me these goodies which I described in the last post.  The chocolate covered sunflower seeds are delicious!  As you can see Cindy sent me some great goodies in my package!

The scent on the candle - Morning Dew - is very relaxing!

 And here is another picture of our cat Scoochie playing with the cute fish Chan knitted for me in the Hot Cocoa Swap.  Had trouble getting this picture because Scoochie keeps hiding the poor little fish!  She has been having a great time with it!

Thank you again to Cindy C and Chan for 2 fantastic swap packages!

Defeat the Winter Doldrums Dishcloth Swap Package

I  returned  from  Cape Cod last evening to find this wonderful package from Cindy C  for the Defeat the Winter Doldrums swap!   What a great way  chase away the winter doldrums !  She sent me 3 beautiful lime green and white dishcloths in different sizes.  They are so cute!  

**I am having a difficult time inserting pictures with my new computer so pictures may not be available at this time.**  

She also sent me some great Sugar and Cream yarn in purple, lavender and green colors.  Will make some wonderful projects!

She sent me a scented candle in a Morning Dew scent that makes me wish spring was here already - very relaxing scent!

I also received a delicious chocolate bar, some yummy hot chocolate and some chocolate covered sunflower seeds - also very delicious!

Cindy C. also sent me a cute little notions bag in almost the same colors as some of the yarn.  I will be perfect for holding some of my stitch markers!

Thank you Cindy C.  It is a wonderful package and has definitely helped chase away the winter doldrums!

 

Quick post!

These are pictures of a shipwreck on a beach in Wellfleet, MA on Cape Cod last week. It washed up in late January. They think it is from around 1820-1850. Really interesting to see the construction. All wood pegs holding it together. Don't know how long it will be there - it may wash out with the next tide or storm. I am going back there next week and hope it is still there so I can show it to my kids and grandkids.

This a picture of Scoochie enjoying the felted fish buddy I received from Channon in the Hot Cocoa Swap. You can see she is loving this toy! She was like alittle kitten - rolling all around the room with it!
Thanks again Channon for the great package and Scoochie's new friend!

Hot Cocoa Swap package from Channon!

Wow, what a perfect day to receive such a wonderful package! It snowed last night then rained all day today and is dreary and wet. Our basement is flooded and it is cold and damp. But I feel great because I received my package for the Hot Cocoa swap from Channon today! The mailman even put the box on our front porch in a plastic bag to protect it from the heavy rain! This is what I unpacked from the box! All wrapped so pretty!
This is what I received. Some AWESOME dark purple yarn, catnip, biscotti, awesome hot cocoa filled canister, hot cocoa packets, a cute tape measue with a crocheted cover, stitch markers and a wonderful buddy - a knitted felted fish!
These are the beautiful purple stitch markers I received. Channon got them from Mary at Blume's Accesories on Etsy. Mary makes wonderful things - so pretty - you should check her out! And isn't the tape measure the cutest! I will need to hide it from my grandkids! They keep "borrowing" my sheep and ladybug tape measures and I have to rescue them! I love the colors - so spring like.
This is a closeup of the beautiful Malabrigo Kettle Dyed Merino Wool yarn! It is awesome! It is so soft I can't stop petting it! And the color is so perfect. I have heard people talk about this yarn but never had any before. Can't wait to find a project for it - for ME! And don't you just LOVE the fish! My kitty Scoochie loves it! Channon left the mouth open so I could put catnip in it. I will post pictures later of Scoochie loving her new toy!
Thank you again Channon - this is a wonderful pick me up. Scoochie thanks you also.
