Starting Over November 21, 2008

I am not sure if there is any easy way to transition after my last post.

Hi.

I know it has been quite a while, but it is taking a while to feel anywhere close to normal again. Well, I know things will never be completely normal again, but I would taking being able to function on a day to day basis. I have good days and I have bad days. Mostly the bad days consist of really lonely ones when I hear a song on the radio that Dad and I used to listen to.

I am learning to cope.

I suppose that is all anyone can really be asked to do.

So, I am trying to steer us back to regularly scheduled programming.

I thought I might try doing that with the Plurk Swap that I signed up for, oh, ages ago it seems. I received my package from the lovely miss Stephanie (aka Bugaboo1). She really was able to nail my loves on the head. Ok,

I’ll shut up, here are some pics!!

You can see all that green right? And the cute froggy?!

The froggy is a great little magnet clip. He is so going on my fridge! And can we say PB Twix!! OMG. Yum!

The fiber is gorgeous. As you can see it is Wool/Acrylic blend. It is so soft and I cannot wait to spin it up! It was purchased at the legendary Rhinebeck in upstate NY. It comes from The Little Barn.

And of course there was yarn! JoJoland Melody! So smooshy!

The little handmade music pouch with the stitch markers in it was so adorable. I am going to use the hell out of that little pouch and those stitch markers!!

These two bags are amazing! They are going to be so wonderful for my projects and my fibers! I can’t wait to use them! And ya wanna know why I love the one on the left so much?!?!

Oh yes. It is lined in FROGS!

So once more, Bugaboo1, a deep and heartfelt Thank you for being such a fabulous swap pal!

Love & Stitches,

C.M.S.S.
