I knew I had more thank yous to do! Here’s the previously mentioned cute stationery from Elspeth (thanks again, E!), although I’m not sure I’ll actually ever get to use it – Ms. Mayhem seems a bit proprietary about it, doesn’t she?
“Hey, I have a lot of letters to write if Mom ever gets out from under my feet and works from the office again.” -Mayhem
I won a prize over at Diva Knitting. Thanks, StitchDiva!
“Mmmmm… yarny yarn.” -Mayhem
KitKatKnit sent me some fun goodies. I haven’t tried A Piece of Vermont yarn before. She also sent me some cute stitchmarkers that she made (Chaos is apparently trying to steal the one with his name on it) and a very cute black kitty necklace. Thank you so much, KitKatKnit! How did you know that I was looking at those necklaces on vacation, but never found one that I liked?!
“Mmm… stitchmarkers.” -Chaos
“Mmm… glow sheep!” -Mayhem
Glow sheep? Yes indeed.
“It isn’t as flat as that other sheep, but it isn’t very lively, either. Do you think maybe it’s just too scared to move? I am scary.” -Mayhem
Finally, I participated in the Sound Swap that Jennie organized. I sent music and treats to Clare in the UK, and received music and treats from Raches in Australia. Raches sent me a great mix cd, some tea, a journal, self-patterning sock yarn, and incredibly lovely merino-cashmere sock yarn. YUM! Thank you, Raches!
“Hmm, I wonder if I should start keeping a diary? I wouldn’t want Mom or the big kitty to peek at it…” -Mayhem
Wow, everyday is like Christmas and your birthday rolled into one! Such cool stuff, and I love the glow in the dark sheep, hee hee.
Cashmere merino sock yarn? Oh. Wow.
::snort:: Yeah, right, May, you sure are scary.
It is my belief that you are the sole reason the US Postal System is still up and running.
Merino-cashmere socks! Some people are just so spoilt 😉
Cat diary: Today I napped, woke up and had breakfast, played, used the litter box, napped, stretched, played, napped, played, napped, used the litter box, napped, alternated between ignoring and bothering the human who thinks this is her house, ate, played, napped, used the little box, and napped.Gee I hope I’m not as busy tomorrow.
Such treasures! Those are some great packages. Those baby photos of Mayhem are absolutely darling too. Man, they outgrow that tiny kitten stage so fast!!
I thought this blog WAS May’s diary?
Lucky you. You received some great packages
So… did chaos and/or mayhem have a reaction to the sheep glowing at night?
Merino cashmere sock yarn? I think I’m in love. 😉
The comments are half the fun sometimes! Poor kitties. So many things to supervise.
Chris- I’m a bit of a closet stationary junkie myself. Maybe snail mail and the written word will come back in style.
I like the glowy sheep!
you get everything everyday. i’m just happy when there aren’t any bills in the mailbox.
That yarn just keeps piling up, doesnt’ it? No wonder you were la-la-la-ing.
Letters AND a diary! May is quite literary for such a young kitty…
You’ll love A Piece of Vermont yarn! Maybe May will become a famous author and you can live off her;-D
Nice gifts! May must have many, many secrets!
Great gifts! A little of everything. I hope May will share your gifts with you. 😉
Great loot, especially that yarn!
wow lots of nice gifties!
those kitties are two funny …they are into everything…
hope you are getting my good vibes of health and that you are doing well.
Those are some pretty interested kitties there – you might want to hide a few things……..
I’m not entirely sure that you WANT the cats writing letters.. who knows what sort of secrets they’d spill?
Yay, lots of great mail. Love that merino/cash sock yarn from the Knittery too. Sweet!
May is indeed taken with the stationary. It is great, I can see why! I keep meaning to ask, may I share the Coffee Mix with Catalyst Coffee (where we went for SnB)? Someone else gave them a coffee mix and there isn’t a duplicate to be had between the two! Go figure!
Yer kitties are just too funny and cute. Poor May is going to have a complex, someone had better send her a live sheep soon.
Very nice gifties! Mayhem, you need to keep the diary in the sock drawer for complete safety.
Oh Mayhem – you’d be a best seller if you kept a diary! You are welcome to come over and roll in my sheep’s fleece.
That Sound Swap sounds wonderful-what a great idea! And cute stationery-I need to find some knit-related goodies.
Scary May! Ha! I wonder what she would tell us…
You certainly have had a lot of very happy mail!
Do you have to wait for the kitties to notice the goodies laying around, or do they charge right over and pose for you? I’m impressed, either way!
May looks like a panther stalking its prey. 🙂
I wish I’d gotten in on the sound swap — such a great idea!
Lovely swap goodies! That Sound Swap was just an awesome idea — I hope it happens again.
Hope you’re feeling better, Chris!
Wow that colour on the cashmere-merino sock yarn is GORGEOUS… really blew me away 😉 What fun!
