Surprise Package


Wow!  I heard the postman knock at the door, and could not imagine what he was delivering, as I am not waiting for a thing from the postal service.

Imagine my surprise when I opened the mystery package and saw all this. Gian was right there, ready and willing to investigate.  ( also a rescue cat, D. )


As 'D' does not have a blog, but informed me that she reads tat-olog, (thanks!) I thought I would post this for her benefit. Thank you so much. This was completely unnecessary - but I love it all! Thank you so much for such generosity.

I am especially curious to try the Easter Egg Lizbeth in #80.  I have not seen this before - neither the colour nor the new size.  Fun for Fox!
*****************


My whittled-to-almost-nothing stash has amazingly and quite suddenly burgeoned to this!

I have very little #20 thread, used all my 'older' HDT up, and have gained mostly #40 thread - my new favourite size.  I feel very lucky indeed.

  1. Ooooh and Ahhhh! How fun! Don't you love that kind of mail rather than the bills and junk mail that usually seems to dominate?

  2. It is always such fun to get a package like that in the mail. I always love the finer threads and my current project is being worked in Lizbeth # 80 threads. Have fun.
