I checked all my email accounts this morning and no news of a bag received or anything like that but when I checked her blog in my normal run of things I found that she had received it. :D YAY!! What a happy surprise! I'm so glad it arrived safely and that she liked it.
Who IS my KSKS person you ask? Why none other than The Woolen Rabbit!
I bet all the bunny and carrot stuff is making a lot more sense now eh. ;^)
She has piccies n' stuff up on her blog about how she liked the bag. Plus she lost one of her furry pals. :( So Sorry, sweetie. I'm glad you had the time with her that you did. *HUGS*
Every time someone's furry people's get sick or die I start worrying. My little TKK is very old although she acts like a much younger kitty most of the time and I wish she could stay here forever. Sometimes it's almost too much. :( But the time we have with them makes it worth it and every moment counts, even if it does hurt a whole lot when that part of life comes around at the end.
*Hugs the Wooly Bunny for her loss*
*sigh* Anyway back to the good stuff.
She got her package after waiting wayyyy too long over the summer while I teased her by telling her I was making her bag especially for her and giving her no other clues. So seeing that she actually likes it makes me very happy. :D
I threw in a lot of goodies for her kit in case she didn't like the bag too much. Sweetie, just don't look too closely at all the flaws. *L*
Here's what I sent her: Clickie for the big piccies to see the details. :D
Fiber Trends Leaf Lace Sock Pattern, Opal Hand-painted and Cherry Tree Hill in flavors that I felt went with the bunny/carrot theme, as well as were in the list of her Fav Colors.
Knitting Tools for her Kit: Small Note Book, with matching Pencils, Orange Tape Measure, Orange Chibi, The Stitch Markers I made for her and a set of Crystal Palace BamBoo DPN's sized for the pattern I sent along.
Here are the extra treats and goodies I sent along for her to enjoy. I sent enough so she could share with her family if she likes. ;) Orange/Cherry Candle, Orange Chocolate Lindt Bar, Pistachios, A little orange-ish thingy of tissues, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, Two flavors of tea soaps and in the big carrot shaped thingy is a bunch of different kinds of Lindt Truffle Chocolates as she said she liked truffles as well as some Ritter Sport Chocolate. :D
Here is the letter I included to be opened after the packages were opened that explained a bit about the bag and who I am. :D TKK was using it as a blankey since I hadn't worked on her blankey in days. *L*
Not pictured in detail on this post are the Bunny Bag & Carrot Pouch as they have their own posts. ;) To read all about their creation and the things I learned in the process you can clickie those links to read along.
I had a lot of fun creating this kit. I'm really glad The Wooly Bunny likes it. :D
Wait...
You sent her an amazing kit, she took photos of it, blogged about it and can't be bothered to actually tell you it arrived or thank you via e-mail?
WTF is that?
I am so sorry, honey. You deserve better than that. *hugs*

It IS an INCREDIBLELY AWESOME gift!!
I blogged the very day it arrived. I was completely overwhelmed....and truly, I emailed you via my blog comments :-) that same day.
It was a very hard week for us last week and almost everything took a bit of a back seat after putting Maddie down.....Cookie isn't being fair, I had all I could do do get much of anything done those few days :(
I hope that your bag maker was as wonderful to you as you were to me!!!!!

That is an over-the-top package you sent! And the carrot-wrapping is fantastic, really appropriate. And I'm loving the Opal handpainted. My kind of fall colors.
