happy saturday part 1

hoot! hoot! i received my tiny owl knits swap package from a wonderful english knitter, such a long journey for such a precious parcel to make....


the pattern is it is october glory by canerysanctuary. but wouldn't it make a great little sexy corset??? (and i think it is just my size)
a few more pics of the beautiful detail of her knitting...

 

2 skeins of rowan romance and see the knit sea urchin that also came with it?


really i have not even gotten to the best part. these are two original art works by her for ME! (yes i am getting them both framed!)




i know, right about now you (and I) am thinking 'stop the press' this is the coolest gift ever... and still in amazement there is more.....

there is this handy fairy notebook perfect for keeping my pattern notes (for my favorite tok pattern gnome home which was also sent to me early as part of the gift to tell me the package had been mailed, a beautiful necklace of leaves and beads and little tiny owl buttons.....


(so much love in such a small package)

thank you fellow blogger woolybug, thank you so much!
