Happy B-Day to me (a little late)

So yesterday was package day and I sent out all the packages I needed to for a while. Some were for those who tested my Shunky pattern and others were for some exchanges I'm a part of. To thank my testers I made these... cute huh? Some close up hanging shots.
I liked the green and purpleish one (first one from the left) here are some more! I personally liked the "snake" one! One for the packages I sent off was for Winter Wool over at c-ville. And I sent a skein of yarn I dyed myself. How do you like the packaging? as with everything else I make, I am nervous that she'll either like it or hate it.
anyways little did I know that mailing things out would bring me good fortune... LOL see what came today in the mail for ME! YES it's a box. But not just any box look what was spying at me when I opened it up.... HMM what is that? Why it's a bag! let's peek and see what's inside! woo hoo look at it all laid out.. it's a drop spindle and some roving and instructions. It's my b-day present from my parents. (they sent money and I put it to good use) I bought this fun little package here go check it out! But wait there's more b/c there was not only 1 but 2 packages for me.... here's the box and what's inside? Looks like a card with some black stuff. so what exactly is it? Well it's Coffee! and from my fav place too! The card revealed that it was a b-day present from Kelly she got me 5 lbs of the goodness. 2 blends (moka java, breakfast) and 3 flavors (pumpkin spice, butter rum, and cinnamon haz swirl) is your mouth watering yet?
so yeah anyways. I'm a little slow so I'm off to find out how to actually spin on the spindle...Hopefully I won't suck at it..LOL more to come later.

Thank you for visiting my humble blog. I actually love hats. Problem is that no one in south Texas wears them. Maybe I should start a new trend?!?

Happy birthday.
