Secret Summer Santa
I've been taking part in the Angel Yarns forum Secret Summer Santa swap, and I've been waiting not very patiently for my pressie for the past few weeks. I showed amazing restraint and managed to photo it before I demolished all the pretty paper:
And when I opened it I saw this:
The first pressie said "To add to your stash", and inside was 2 skeins of handpainted 100%lambswool. The colours are beautiful, absolutely my favourites and it smells really good too!
The next package said "Perfect for socks", and indeed it is perfect :)
Next was a little pack labelled "Perfect for adding a touch of colour". These are just brilliant, and sizes are 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm and 10mm, none of which I own and are great for a novice crocheter like me.
Next came two more pressies, one labelled for me and the other for the small badgers (I ate the muffin almost instantly - yum!)
I also got a lovely card (which I haven't taken a picture of), and there was a clue as to who my secret summer santa was.
A slow snail, hmmm I wonder who it could be ;) I want to say a very big THANKYOU to the lovely blogless Slowasasnail Kate!

You lucky girl! And what beautiful wrapping :-)I am very jealous of all the summer santas but I am in an August birthday swap so only have to wait a few more weeks!
yummy nummy num,and I don't just mean the edibles.
Have fun with the yarny bits, you already enjoyed the muffin!
Oooh, lovely prezzies you got there...as you probably already guessed (what with the two of us having similar - impeccable - tastes in the yarn dept.) I think the yarn is fabulously gorgeous.
And funny as it is, my mom's house is home to "Percy the PUG" (geddit?)
Hugs from Hamburg!

Lurve the handpainted yarn - pretty colours. Sorry to read that you didn't get the job, more power to your elbow for the next time!

Ooo what lovely gifts. You're good for not ripping off the wrapping straight away. The butterfly bag is gorgeous.
What lovely gifts - especially those crochet hooks - I really want some of those lovely coloured ones!
