SP, Ravelry, Swaps, and Summer fun.
So much to post about!
OK, first…MY SECRET PAL RULES. I got my final “reveal” package yesterday. Here she is! Annie sent me a great final package, I love everything! She knit and felted me this AWESOME little skully bag (like a mini version of the one my SIL made me) and I’m totally using it today.
She gave me a circ holder (which I needed!), a bag of necessities (which I also needed, I’ve lost all my holders and stitch markers!), two balls of Debbie Bliss love, and of course the rockin felted bag. Thank you SO much Annie, you were a GREAT pal!!!
This past week we’ve been trying to get out and do fun stuff. Last weekend, Zoe danced in full regalia in the Mashpee Wampanoag PowWow (DH’s family is native) and she couldn’t possibly have looked more perfect. Zoe herself is Narragansett and MicMac between her dad and I, which I believe explains why she tans so beautifully. My nephews were also all decked out in native pride with their breech cloths, handwoven belts, moccasins, and mohawks. Behold the cute:
We’ve also been bummin’ around the beach. Apparently we picked a day when the UV index was likened to the surface of the sun and me and the DH are burned all over. BUT it was fun.
As for the Craftster Craft Challenge? I won! Yay!
I also thought I’d show off my awesome I Love My Yippie Little Dog Swap stuff!! My partner ruled, LOOK at this!
It’s a freakin’ dog teepee…or at least it was…
In closing, I was up until 5:30 am setting up my Ravelry. For those who are waiting, it is SO worth the wait. And my advice: sit down, take pics and catalog your stash, wip’s, and FO’s. Get all the pics on a Flickr account. This takes FOREVER and had I done it ahead of time I could have gotten to the fun playing around faster!
And since I have lovely pictures of my WIP’s now, here’s an update:

Well, that’s it for me for today. Off to shower and get outside for a while and knit. I will leave you with my beautiful Zoe after her dance recital last month:
