4 You With Love: June Package Pals - What I Gave Cathy

Here is a pic of what I sent her....

I made some greeting cards for her,  two 'friend' cards and two Christmas cards.  (I love making cards.) I sent some chipboard letters (winter theme).  And some yarn,  I believe it is fingering/sock weight from Knit Picks in the colors she said her 'woman cave' was in--turquoise and brown.  And I thought the burnt orange went well.  (Sorry I do not have the tag.)  And I crocheted a Hot Pot Mate (pot holder) using 'Christmas' colored cotton, from my new book,

Quick-Stitch Crochet  (The Needlecraft Shop),  edited by Judy Crow

Sorry about the picture.  I bought mine at Annie's Catalog (online) --great book,

but they are out of it now.  I think you can get it at Amazon.

 I also sent some (AVON) hand lotion to keep our hands soft when working with yarn and a fun lip gloss.   

I hope she likes it. 

My June Package Pal goodies from Marilyn

I received a special package today from my June Package Pal!!! 

 (cat not included...Thanks, Pippy.....)

So much fun....

We both signed up on C.R.A.F.T. to be Package Pals. You commit to send a 'crafty' package to another crafty person and they send you one as well.  This was the first time I 'swapped' through this site and I am so glad as it was fun. 

Here's what I got..... 

This is what I first pulled out of the box.  Is this not the cutest tote ever??  Can you see the sewing references in the fabric?

And it is reversable...



Is this not too cute!  Those are little bees.  (Did you know I am also affectionately known as the 'Bag Lady'?  You didn't know that did you?)

So also can you see the yummiest yarn ever? --Pun intended---see the Kool-Aid?   She Sun Dyed Yarn with Kool-Aid  and the colors are very kool.........



Included also is some yarn, Kool-Aid and instructions to try my own.   Love the colors.    (Remember long ago I did some acid dyed sock blanks---nice but not half as much fun as this looks.)

Then.....I got....

A very cute binder with some new crochet patterns----can you believe it I actually have not seen these patterns...really!  'Granny' squares only with a new beautiful look.

You can see lots more patterns on her blog...

4 You With Love

That little crochet bug I sent is working I guess.....

Thanks Marilyn for the yummy, fun goodies.  I can't wait to get started. 

You can also see what I sent her on her blog.  Hope you enjoy as much as I have!

Bye for now.
