a woman on the edge

Finally, a chance to post about something sunshiny happy

During my emotional ordeal last week, there was a ray of sunshine that came. My Yellow Swap parcel arrive from the lovely Shmoopie (Ravlink). How spoilt was I!!!

This is what greeted me when i opened the bag

Lots of yellow bundles…but see that gorgeous looking item on the left? It’s a hand sewn project bag with a funky handle system where one handle is longer than the other. You pop the long handle throug the smaller one to close the bag and ensure the contents stay put!! Just ingenious. I love love love the little bag and it is already being put to good use.

Here is everthing all wrapped up ~ so many parcels and yummy hand dyed fibre for me to spin

And then after removing all that yellow packaging ~ viola!

My parcel contained:

• cadbury desserts chocolate (to satisfy the chocoholic in me)
• a sunflower notepad
• a yellow peeler (already used for making my pumpkin soup!)
• a yellow highlighter to attach to my keys (this will be so handy)
• travel pack tissues (always needed; one in my spinning box and one in my knitting bag)
• chamomile tea (very very needed at present)
• some “HeartEase ~ johnny jump up” seeds to plant in my garden
• stitch markers made by shmoopie herself
• merino fibre to spin in scrumptious golden yellow colours hand-dyed by shmoopie herself
• some scrum-didli-umptious malabrigo which i have been dyeing to try
• some super soft sugar & cream, another yarn I have also been dyeing to try

Shmoopie you have truly spoilt me, and stalked me exceptionally well. Thank you so much for everything I love it all so so much and hope you were spoilt by your swap partner too!

And just because i love it so much…a close up of the hand-dyed fibre and the gorgeous hand sewn project bag
