OH MY GOSH!!!

THANK YOU URSULA LONGBOTTOM!!!!  

Oh my gosh!!  Looks what just came in from the Owlery!!!  I am absolutely and positively a spoiled rotten witch!!!  There was so much in the box, I had to post pics in three blogs!

Here is a picture of the entire kit!!  Can you believe she fit it into one box??
Check out this yarn!!  The multi-colored yarn is colorway Severus Snape.  Not only is it gorgeous it is absolutely soft and scrumtios to the fingers!   Ursula also sent me 2 additional skeins, check out the next post to see the fingerless gloves I will knit with them!

Check out the loot!!

And there is still more!!!  I got the Transition Gloves pattern I have been oogling for the longest time.  She also sent me a hand repair kit (she must have seen a pic of my hands, the desert climate is not kind to the skin).

Here is Lavender Oil washing liquid (how fitting for me) and a plant that you grow in a ceramic egg!  I have never seen this before and cannot wait to try it out!
Here are the nummies and Harry Potter merchandise (cannot wait to hand out the Bert's Beans to unsuspecting prey!)
She also included goodies for Lizzie!!  Here she is inspecting the treats.  She, like Ursula's Dog, love them!!  I wonder where she got them??
Here is a close-up of the treats, and if you have a dogter or four legged son, I, I mean we, highly suggest them!  Also in this pic is tea that is supposed to calm and aid in sleeping.

2 Reversible Bags = 4 Bags

Saved the best for the last post!!!  How lucky am I??  Not only did Ursula find the most beautiful fabrics, but she made me two reversible bags.  So, actually I got 4 bags!!!!  They are absolutely beautiful with great craftsmanship.  Here are pics so you too can drool:

My kit has been dropped off in the Owlery!

I just got message that my partner just mailed off my kit!!  So excited, time for a happy dance!  I know I am a dork, but it is like waiting for Christmas morning!   I just know the kit will be amazing!  Off to move chair by door so I have a better view of the sky!!  Fly owl, fly!!

Eggsperiment with Easter Dye

Here is what I did with my left over Easter egg dye.  It dye seemed to saturate the yarn fairly well!

They are done!


With Easter weekend, two RAoKs, one HSKS kit, and one thank you kit sent out, I finally had time to finish my pj bottoms.  Here they are!  Super long, with an extra fold of fabric in the hem in case they shrink!  I cannot wait to go to sleep tonight!!!



Here is a pic of the Best Fabric Ever!!  Yep, this is the pj fabric.  I did not have a lot of time this weekend, but I did manage to have time to adjust the pattern and get it cut.  Tomorrow will be crotch day, yes the day I will sew the crotch (get your minds out of the gutter) and hopefully the side seams and legs also!  I also have leftovers so I should be able to make a few bags and maybe a pillow or a little skirt for Lizzie!  Seriously, have you ever seen such wonderful fabric (I think they used my Lizzie as a model, what do you think?)
