Given and Received
March 09, 2007
I hurt my neck - too much intense knitting is my guess. Things are at a bit of a standstill over here so I thought I would take the time to thank a couple of wonderful blogging pals for some mail candy I have received in the last couple of weeks. Follow the links to see.
Stephanie of A Little Deer is an incredibly talented gal. She sent me this amazing painting. There are houses. On a hill. I love it! Thank you Stephanie!
This Vintage Chica, Eren, sent me a cool vintage coverlet that I had admired. I don't know what I am going to do with it yet, but I will make something with it. She also sent me some very cool vintage napkins (sorry no pics) and a great book It was extremely generous of her - thanks Eren!
In exchange for the lovely buckets Meg made for me, I sent her some handmade goodies:
a patchwork belt
and a knitted bag.
I am going to try to take it easy and resist the urge to finish the socks in the hopes that my neck/shoulder will heal. Have a great weekend and don't forget to "spring forward" on Sunday.
I'm sorry about your neck. That's a bummer since you were in such a knitting groove. Hope it's gets better soon.
Those are some wonderful gifts you received. And I love what you made.
Try to have a good weekend. If you're into basketball, there's lots of it on this weekend.

Oh my! I would absolutely ADORE a tutorial, or even a bit of a clue as to how to construct a belt like that. It looks so fun!
