Elizabeth and I participated in a movie themed swap. She sent me the most wonderful box, all wrapped in black and gold, with gold stars!
Inside, Elizabeth treated me to lovely lace yarn, silk yarn (which I have never had before), and some terrific celebrity-themed knitting books. Also a copy of Lace Style which I've been wanting to get!
Tim is looking forward to movie time with Audrey, and I've already been enjoying the tea and jelly bellies! Thank you so much!!!
The package was so fun to open, and really cheered me up. As did the arrival of the Louet Yarn for Caroline:
"More yarn I don't get to play with, right?"
Mittens are done and off to Lynne for the Mittens for Children collection:
and now we're trying to help Tim adjust to a new kitty...
new WHAT???!!!!
What wonderful goodies!! Aw, Tim, Chaos can SO relate... But after he quit hissing, it turns out he actually liked the new kitten and now they play and clean each other all the time.

What a great package! Your mittens turned out so well. I'm getting ready to start mine this afternoon. (You inspired me to get going!)

Elizabeth totally rocks! She did a great job. I hope you enjoy those goodies.
And I totally get the whole new cat thing, but I'd like to see photographic proof.

New kitty!!! Yay!! There is something so nice about having a new little one roaming around.
Packages and yarn are pretty nice, too. You have some impressive stuff there...

Don't worry Tim - you'll be just fine once you get used to him/her. Much better than yarn. After all, you'll always be the boss kitty!
