the goods...

Okay. So it took me a long time... I admit it, time has a way of slipping by when I don't even realize it's happening. Here are the pictures of the awesome swap box I received from Melanie...

here are some of the notions and needle holders...

here is BabaLouis, leaning on one of the two pillows made with hot cocoa fleece...

and here is the cocoa, with some neat new mugs and a matching dishtowel.

I just realized that the only picture with a good shot of the yarn that was included is the first one of everything. There were two skeins of yummy yarn. One is Araucania Aysen which is a kettle-dyed merino wool/alpaca/silk blend (in color 807) And the other skein is Plymouth's Galway Highland Heather 100% wool (in color 710 which is a burgundy.)
