I received my "Summer Holiday Secret Santa Swap" parcel today!!!There is a gardening theme, which connects with summer in the name of the swap, and even the yarns have floral connections - the Kid Merino is called Nasturtium, and the Artisan Merino Lace is called Hyacinth.
There are also gardening gloves, midge repellent, a scented candle, gorgeous stitch markers, a notebook, a pattern for scarves and some deeee-lish chocolate (Almost gone)
The inside of the lid of the box is also beautifully decorated with flowers and insects - there are even antennae on the insects.
It's a beautiful gift, so loads of thanks to Lisa (Bikegirl)
I have finished purchasing my gifts, the final items need to be wrapped, then it's off in the post very soon. I hope my recipient is as pleased as I am!! She was so difficult to buy for, - and matching that to a theme was even harder!!
I have added a ticker to my blog - another technology mastered!!
I have pledged not to buy any more yarn until Christmas!!!
I am not allowing myself days off, that could be far too expensive - I will only be able to buy yarn if it enables me to complete a project, or if it is for a bay item I don't have the yarn for. There is far too much yarn in my house - it HAS to be used!!
Note to self - must make some smaller items, the big ones are taking too long!!

What a lucky girl you are - pal obviously put a lot of thought into that. Be interesting to see what Nasturtium becomes, it looks lovely.
