Let me begin by saying that Marisol is a clever clever girl.
Way more clever and creative than I managed to be for the Movie Themed Edition of the Special Swap. In emailing back and forth, Marisol discovered that I have a soft spot for Cary Grant* and hit on the movie Holiday (with Katherine Hepburn**). I am especially excited because neither Great Gran nor I have seen it!
Marisol packed up the movie and also included gifts for the rest of the 2007 Holiday Season!
First up, Halloween:
trickertreat
Candy! And a cool pumpkin straw. There used to be Mellowcreme Pumpkins, but Michael ate them all.
Next comes Thanksgiving! Although she assures me that I can make the pumpkin bread any day:
Turkey Dish Cloth!
Last, but Best of All, Christmas!
The coffee is for All Occasions – occasions like tomorrow morning.
That is the pattern for the turkey dish cloth sticking out of the Holiday Gifts Interweave. The round things are walnut cookies: two roundy nutty cookie halves filled with chocolatey nutty goodness. Neatest things I’ve seen in quite a while – and delicious too.
One more present (in a stocking shaped bag):
Do I get another point if I make them in time to wear Christmas Eve?
It’s Duet Sock Yarn full of Christmas Sock Potential! I’ve never tried this yarn, it’s smooshy and really pleasant to touch. Plus: contrast yarn for heels and toes. I love that.
This was so much fun to open! It will be even more fun to use and eat! Speaking of eating, I need to go and sort out supper; while I could live on walnut cookies, others residents might prefer something more substantial.
*Seriously, people. Who doesn’t?
**Another perennial favorite.
awesome gifts! beautiful yarn, great dishcloth. *drool*
Great package (I need to blog about mine)! That Duet sock yarn is delightful! I love the contrasting heels and toes (though I need to find another construction for the heel pattern that came with the yarn). My first pair was in pink and pink. Hope you get them done by Christmas!
I’m really glad you liked everything Emily! I received my package yesterday and the yarn is absolutely delightful! Thank you so much!
Ok need a moment to pick up my jaw which is presently on the floor! WOWZERS!! What a beautiful stash of HAPPIES!!! Everything is gorgeous – enjoy it all 🙂
Those are some great packages! Especially the sock yarns.
Great packages. I especially love the Christmas sock yarn. I bet that will knit up beautifully.
Awesome Awesome package! I love the Holiday theme! And, officially, congratulations on Baby Ivey!
