Hubby and I were on our way out the door to do some spring shopping for the kids(and us, too :lol:) when the mailman almost knocked on hubby's head: He had a package for me!! And guess what is was? :D
BAM! I don't know which way to run first? Janet Evanovich or Julia Alvarez?
Check out the little cotton notion bag: Hand-made by my Secret Pal herself! And look inside:
she wrote out "March 2005 S.P." :D Also inside were some iron-on labels I can put inside my handmade creations!; and something I didn't realize existed: a row counter designed to hang on the needles! I've seen those red and blue little spool-shaped jobs that you stick on straights but this one had a little rod in the middle and on one end is a hole you can put on the needle like you would a stitch marker. I definitely can use this, and it will really help me keep track when doing decreases where it says ".. for so-and-so many rows...".
Do you know what Slack-Key guitar is? Me either :lol: But my Secret Pal sent me a CD of some Hawaiian slack-key guitar music, and I intend to find out. I like listening to music from different culures and I've always wanted to see Hawaii so I guess this is the next best thing, huh?
ThangQ Secret Pal, you just keep outdoing yourself!
P.S. I like the little 'doll blanket'. If held up just the right way, it sorta looks like an outline of the 48 lower states! :lol: My girls don't really 'play' with dolls, I'll use it to decorate the top of my computer chair instead!
In other weird news: I don't know how I did it, but I've lost some sort of weight since I started working again. While shopping I stopped in the GAP(of ALL places), and spied a pretty lacy skirt. Now I KNOW I can't wear their womens clothing(I can barely fit into their biggest mens jeans and this was 8-10 years ago that I tried!), and yet, something told me to try on the skirt. It's a size 16, and last I knew I was wearing a 22. Well strangely enough, the skirt fits!!! that's three sizes down! For good measure I went into Old Navy(the GAP's womens jeans don't go nearly as high as that skirt did) and tried on an 18 and I could barely get them buttoned... hmmm.
There was a time I could wear Old Navy 20s--stretch jeans only!-- about 3 years ago. Weird... Was the skirt just a mis-sizing fluke?(These are new skirts, not on the clearance rack or anything). Or actually if I think it about it it's probably just the fact that the item is a skirt. I have this problem of having to wear jeans a size bigger for my waist than I really need them because of my thighs. I guess I'm so USED to wearing bigger stuff that just a few pounds off confuses me. I'd been wearing a size 26 jeans JUST for the thighs when I decided to shop for some new jeans and found myself buying size 19-20(and these stretch), just a few weeks ago. I don't know whether to rejoice or freak out!

I am a nice SP. Soon I will send who I am, as if you dont know all ready. Thank you for being kind to that morphed washcloth, it is pretty soft. I am glad you have a pretty new lace skirt, too, and that you had fun finding it! I will go turn on my slide guitar music now, and think of you enjoying it too. Love, Secret
