Squee Mail Pic Spam

[dragonsinger]

So ever since I returned from Terminus, 'Real Life' kicked in high and I've either been running like mad or laid up unable to do anything.  So it was, I've not been able to share some wonderful squee mail and goodies I've received over the past few weeks.

First off the lovely jennbrad52  spoiled me bigtime for my birthday with a lovely hand sewn crochet hook roll that is absolutely perfect for my light up hooks, a crocheted tribble, eyeball, bat, coffee cup holder, water bottle holder, a Twilight 'vampire in training' bookmark and dragon key ring.
     




Not to be outdone, The Princess aka hp5freak spoiled me with some yarns for my stash including awesome Glow in the Dark yarn and some hard to find rust I need for an afghan I designed.



I was totally surprised when this package from calypsobard  arrived with a pair of Tudor Rose dishclothes (tho they are too pretty for that and have become coasters for me, one at work and one by my computer/craft area) a crocheted snitch bookmark and fantastic handmade card!


I really really think I came out ahead in this trade with annamhudson  for one of my Molly sweaters.  In return I received a beautiful dragon wall hanging, cards with drawings of Bella's Old Truck, a crochet hook roll (yes I do have enough hooks to fill both of them :D ) and a weighted bag to keep on the arm of the chair and hold supplies.

   

    

quietish  has been knitting goodies for the Crafty Witches and I received this just in time for Terminus :)

 

Once again, a trade for a Molly resulted in something awesome as I received these beautiful Molly & Arthur ponies from the talented and wonderful scowling_hermit 



And while I got them at Terminus and not as mail, these are definitely to be squeed over.  hp5freak  started the afghan on her way to Terminus and finished it up the second day there at the HP Crafter's Meetup and it's mine!!!  gray_overcast  made the lovely Hufflepuff Lightening Bolt Scarf and gifted me with it!  

 
And one final surprise was in a package for the HP Yahoo Terminus swap I 'organized'  One of the swappers added this beautiful 'Lily" pin as a thank you for my work on the swap


 

Hey I said it was Picspam :D

*stares at pics... drools*

I absolutely love the dragon stuff and the ponies and the Twilight stuff and the Hufflepuff things and... and... All of it!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Have to love such crafty friends :)

[saphira-ll.livejournal.com]

Truer words were never spoken... or typed in this case. ;) :D

[calypsobard.livejournal.com]

wow everything isw so lovely!!!!!! I love squee posts to see how amazingly talented everyone is.

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

I soo love those Tudor Roses. Still say too pretty to be dishrags :D

*hugs*

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

That is some seriously awesome stuff. And I had no idea they made glow-in-the-dark yarn! How cool! :D

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

They just came out with the glow in the dark yarn a few weeks ago. I think Michael's sells it tho the closest one to me don't.

[miss-sophia.livejournal.com]

Michael's? Ooooh, cool, I shall have to check it out! We have a bazillion Michael's in this area, and I'd love to incorporate some of that yarn into a baby blanket I'm knitting for my pregnant BFF, or maybe a hat (the only two things I know how to knit, and I haven't completed my first hat yet, so I shouldn't speak too soon!). That is way way way cool!

BTW, in case you're interested, galileah_galile, who's someone on my mom's flist, spins her own yarn and even does custom spinning. She has some of it up at her etsy shop, but from what I understand, there's more beyond that. Just thought I'd pass along the contact in case you were interested. If you do decide to contact her and want to mention how you heard of her, she'll understand if you say I'm spicedogs's daughter. :)

It looks like you had some awesome stuff sent to you. I'm glad to see you back up and posting. With your posts about going to the ER and exploding tires and all, I was a little worried about you!

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

It is all so awesome! So many talented people :)

I am so glad to be back. Feeling much better now that gall bladder is out.

*hugs*

My mom and aunt had to have that done within a year of each other. Every time my side hurts my mom tells me: You should just get it taken out now. It's going to have to come out eventually! I'm not for the pre-emptive surgery though. How bad was the recovery?

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Not bad at all...

I was in pain from the Early Saturday trip to the ER until the surgery. Once I had the surgery, had some pain for a few hours into the evening and then mild discomfort and NOTHING like the pain of the days before. Did take a pain shot the morning after when they said I'd be going home because I knew I'd be getting in and out of car as well as sitting at my friend's house till Joe got off work. That night took one Lortab before bed and that's the last pain pill I had.

Went to Walmart with Joe tho I walked slow with cart to find foods I could eat and wanted. Next day we went out to an antique/hotrod car show, again walking slow but out and about.

Monday, I was back to work, stitches out Wednesday (a week after coming home) Still not back 100% but much much better.

Wow. That's incredible!!! Truly amazing what modern medicine can do today.

[laci-l.livejournal.com]

Everything is so amazing! I am glad to see you are well enough for a longer post, great!! Good to have you back!

Aw, thanks! I love your sweater too; I'm going to wear it to the big Christmas party this year.

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

Weasley ponies??? Well, they do live in a barn ...

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Of course they do! They were born in one too :D LOL

[annamhudson.livejournal.com]

Awww you are so sweet but I feel that I got the better deal....lol and the bag is to hold garabage scraps in...lol

[dragonsinger954.livejournal.com]

Too pretty for garbage scraps but a good place to put snippers, hooks, skein of yarn, book :D
