FIA Swap Arrival!

I received my Fall Into autumn swap Package today and want to send a huge thank you to Cheryl W.! She was a great spoiler and sent me such a lovely package. She was attentive and sent em the funniest e-cards that on more than one occasion started my day off great. and people she gave me craisons, she is now my new best friend! The soap is on its way and I can't wait to receive it!

Without further adieu,..

Cheryl is not a big on Halloween and instead opted to theme her package around Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Having an aunt who is a breast cancer survivor the thought was very much appreciated. She also sent me a DVD on how to knit socks on 2 Circs!!!!! Yes I am slow in that department but I can't wait to learn. I got a Knitted Lacy Round Dishcloth by Rhonda White knit in the ever elusive, at least in the northeast, Peaches and Cream! She also included a ball of it and the rumor is true! Peaches & Cream is much, much softer than Sugar & Cream. Enclosed was also a pattern for the "Infamous" Daryl Waltrip Cloth by Rhonda White. In keeping with the pink theme Cheryl purchased 2 balls of Karabella's Aurora 8 in none other than pink! (my two year old niece has claimed it as her own and in the words of a toddler said "Oh, Auntie so soft! Mine? No for me! Oh so squishy! She also claimed the chocolate but she shared so it was all good.)

Joan, if you are reading this, I think Cheryl was trying to tell me something about Entrelac'tober. I'm guessing Entrelac is in my future and with these spiffy stitch markers I'll be less likely to foul it up. Although, I make no promises. I will attempt it though.

In case you are all not aware, my beloved Red Sox won the World Series!! I lived through parade hell on Tuesday, I mean seriously people, you stand outside for 5-6 hours, they roll by you in ten minutes, you scream WOOOOOO! and then go home. Hardly worth it, IMO. I did it the first time the Patriots won the Superbowl in 2001, never again, I shook for 3 hours after i got home, but then again it was February in Boston. I was young and stupid.

For now I leave you with the most beautiful butterfly I have ever seen. I bet you didn't know you could find butterflies in Boston in October.

But watch her fly...

Oh, and never tell a butterfly her antennae are lopsided. they do give the dirtiest looks
