Late ColorSwap Note

Okay way back when in August LOL I was matched up with Sam over at Compassion Knits. Sam is awesome! She is such a nice, chatty person. I loved that. I’ve always enjoyed emailing people, it’s fast and easy and if you want to do it at midnight you don’t have to worry about then being awake.

Anyway, Sam and I chatted often during our colorswap month and I was SO excited to realize that she knitted a hat for me!

Of course, two minutes after I opened my package, Alice grabbed the hat and declared it was hers. She does look so cute though doesn’t she? I said she could have it because she seemed to fall in love with it instantly, it’s waiting on her dresser for when the weather cools.

~~And, sadly, I can’t find any of the other pictures I took of my swap box.~~

I just went searching one more time and I found them! They were in a totally unrelated folder (I try to stay organized with my pictures, for that someday when I print them LOL)

Sam sent me very cool stuff: boston baked beans (also stolen by Alice), shortbread (I hid that for me!), a couple of craft organizers, and a great little carrier with thread and material - and the lion material is SO cute! I haven’t used it for anything - yet. I have this idea for a bedset for my son. His room right now is the ocean and my Mom is making him a blanket. But he needs more then one (ha, like he only has one LOL) and a lion would be so cute. Especially because he’s been going around roaring lately, because he is of course a lion.
