Teachers Who Knit Swap

Hello and welcome to my post which features goodies sent to me from my new buddy yogicknitter from across the "big pond" (I like saying that!)
Thank you yogicknitter!


Double Decker Bus
I love this double decker bus shaped postcard. One of the destinations on the bus is Hyde Park Corner. What a coinky dink -- I live in Hyde Park, Chicago. Yogicknitter writes a nice greeting on the back of the card. She also encourages me to start a blog. Well here is the humble beginnings of my blog.




Wallet and buttons
I love the wallet with the neat pockets for stashing knitting tools. The teacher related buttons are adorable. I can get real creative with those.




Ahh! Relaxation Time!
The fragrance of roses is my weakness. Yogicknitter surprises me with rose scented shower cream, foaming bath cream and candles.Yum - I love CHOCOLATE . In my package is Galaxy hot chocolate mix and a coaster for me to place my mug of hot chocolate.The writing on the coaster says, "Life's too short. Don't just sit there, knit something. " LOL! I like that.



My favorite colors!
Yogicknitter captured my favorite colors: green, pink and lavendar. The Knitting magazine features my favorite color pink. This magazine included a supplement that features baby knits. Lots of gorgeous patterns are waiting for me to knit them up. Thank you for the beautiful lavendar color soft tweed classic yarn and the unique looking green hand dyed 100% silk laceweight yarn from hipknits.




Pamper my hands and feet!
My busy little hands will love the Elemis Intensive Hand Repair cream.My often neglected feet will breathe a sigh of relief when I treat them to a pedicure using the Vanilla Foot Softner and pedicure tools.


Yummy Recipes
Ooooo this is my favorite item in the package. This is so special. This is a collection of recipes from the parents and teachers of Orleans Infant and St Stephen's Junior Schools. The illustrations are provided by the children. I am going to make each one.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the bits and pieces in the package. I'm really impressed that you have now started a blog too. I will be popping back to check out all the regular updates. I will be looking forward to seeing what you knit up with the yarn that I sent you too.
