Randomness, mail, yarn, links. It's all to cover up the fact that I have no knitting to show!
Jill has moved her blog! She's gone and gotten her own domain here, and if you go visit her, you can enter her competition to win some yummy yarn. Off you go, I'll wait.
I bought some new pyjamas. I know, too much info ;) Now, I need new pj's about as much as I need new yarn, but I couldn't resist.
Polar bear pj's. I had to have 'em.
The mail brought goodies today. Best mail day I've had in a long time!
NadaJ and I had a little swap. I sent her some Cleckheaton yarn, and a few other little things that are only available locally, and she sent me sock yarn and stitch markers that aren't available here in Australia.
Socks that Rock in Sedona, and Mountain Colors Bearfoot in Mountain Tango. Yum! Mountain Colors is my favourite ever sock yarn, although I've only used it once, but the StR feels mighty purty ;)
I went a-shopping on the web. Danielle has opened an Etsy store here. I'm a sucker for sparklies, so I bought myself some new earrings in blue and black, and Danielle especially made me a pink pair, but shh! They're for Em's birthday later this month.
Aren't they pretty? I changed into a blue top when I got home from the Post Office so I could wear the blue earrings!
Carol has been on holiday, and she sent me a little souvenir.
A cute little notepad in the shape of a sheep!
Sparkly earrings, polar bear pyjamas, sock yarn and a cute notepad.
My life is complete ;)

Great sock yarn...I love the colors! The Trellis Scarf is coming along nicely too. You've managed to knit quite a bit even in the heat.

Posted by: the stripey tiger at March 15, 2006 06:09 AMWhat a sheepy face.
Yummy yarn....
New PJ's are the best. And you always can use another pair or three.
Sorry the pink ones are way long..... Now I make sheepy face.
Posted by: Danielle at March 15, 2006 07:10 AMI love PJs too! My b-day is in December so I always get PJs for either Christmas or my b-day. I have a ton of winter PJs but not many summer ones. My LYS just got some Mountain Colors Bearfoot in. I was so excited, I bought a skein - Yellowstone is the color. They've ordered Sock that Rock too but who knows when that'll come in. It'll probably take months! But I love the anticipation! Maybe I'll aspire to knit up the Bearfoot so I have a good excuse to get Socks that Rock!
Posted by: Evelyn at March 15, 2006 08:39 AMA girl can never have too many pj's, yarn or pretty earrings. :) The sheepy note pad is cute.
Happy Knitting!
Posted by: Samantha at March 15, 2006 10:40 AMI LOOOVE flanno PJ's, come on winter.
The sock yarn is beautiful.
All that yummy stuff sort of compensates for a lack of knitting, don't you think?
The yarn is delicious!

Posted by: Michelle at March 15, 2006 06:03 PMThe PJ's are cute --- in fact I think of you now, everytime I see a polar bear - heh
Posted by: Jade at March 15, 2006 11:28 PMYou mean I am not the only mom who buys tons of food, $212.00 worth today, and then the family says there is nothing to eat! Maybe we should start a support group?
I actually dreamt about you buying something with polar bears after reading this yesterday! lol... Those are very pretty earrings! Happy Birthday in advance to Em. =)
Posted by: kessa at March 16, 2006 12:47 PMI have some more Bearfoot to send you. The LYS up here have them in stock pretty regularly. Oh, and some lace yarn too...I was stingy w/the postage and didn't send you everything I had. I think it's so cool that my parcel from freaking Minnesota is in AUSTRAILA!!! **did I spell that righ??** LOL..
