Like a Kid in a Candy Shop!

erm... only there is wool the mailbox!

I knew that there were a bunch of treasures coming in the mail for me... I was severely lacking will power last week and ordered a few Spinning/Knitting Books, some wicked on-sale Debbie Bliss Cashmerino (that Nannapei had mentionned on her blog :) thanks for the hot tip!) and some Shetland wool from a really friendly lady named Jen (on etsy) who raises her own sheep!

So the last few nights as I arrive home from wherever I happened to be all day (work, running wedding errands) I run to the mailbox, like a kid in a candy shop *hoping* that there are presents for me (and not the kind that arrive with dollar figures owing... ugh bills) wooly things all wrapped in brown paper boxes!

Today this came:

  (ignore horrible photography, I was excited)



a big box full of the SOFTEST, puffiest, mose delicious wool! my first experience with Shetland wool!  I know I probably should have waited for daylight and such before taking pictures, but I couldn't help myself!  Honestly I could just crawl right into this box, curl up and not move again for days it is SO soft... and Jen sent along 5 samples of different types of wool too!  Drool... can't wait to be off work this week. Want2Spin.... really badly!  or should I say baaaaaa-dly?

More when I get a day off!
