Tea And Me

Knowing that I am pretty spoiled by my family the other 364 days of the year, it seem silly to have a whole day dedicated to spoiling me. But they did. Breakfast in bed, mimosas, the day to do whatever I wanted, a cocktail and appetizer hour, and a homemade dinner. But Jon, being one of the best gift-givers ever, put together this lovely "tea-themed" package that just thrilled me to no end.
A tea infusion pot, infusion stick, tea bag squisher, a beautiful cookbook, and because he knows I'd never buy it for myself . . . . (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!) . . .
. . . two skeins of Claudia in "Eat Your Veggies" colorway. This should make the next 364 days just perfect.

Pass the Spaghetti

It goes with out saying that the bigger the gag gift, the more lovely the "real" presents are. Jeanne and Chris never disappoint! Really - do knitters ever? From Jeanne, The Yarn Lover's Guide to Hand Dyeing. I just love it, even just holding the pretty pages in my hands. From Chris, A Marie Mayhew Wooly Chicks pattern with Frog Tree Alpaca and Celia's Fiber to make a chick; a Sheep Needle Felting Kit from WoolPets; tiny stitch markers from Hide and Sheep (worth it JUST for the super cool containers they come in!!); and stitch/row markers and mini-chibis (but WHAT IF I WANTED the elusive orange container!!) from Entrelac Stitch Markers. You guys are just the best - Thank you for driving to the far western suburbs and thanks for spoiling me rotten!

Oh - the spaghetti! We aren't exactly here yet with the whole two cat thing.....

....."butt", we're getting close!
