This one blew my mind a little! I absolutely love it, and since I'm not game to use it as an actual rug it'll be wall mounted!

A Yoshi beanie! Ordinarily I would have worn it to take a better picture, but I just woke up so not right now!

A huge THANK YOU to Katdun (and her son, of course!), you did such a great job on everything (and it makes me think you're even more awesome that you managed this level of awesome while you also had your baby in the middle if it all!) and I love it all and feel incredibly spoiled! And don't worry, Australia Post are notoriously unreliable so don't worry if it takes ages, everything gets here eventually!

Yay! I'm glad it finally made it there! I've been whining/pouting for almost a week about how you hadn't gotten it yet. lol I'm so happy that you like it! :yahoo:

:blush: I don't know about that! I did the rug in April, nothing swap-related in May (all about baby that month), and everything else in June. It's probably good that I took a month off, the box was FULL and I was still coming up with ideas. :swoon:

I'll take a picture of myself with the beanie when I look a damn sight nicer than I do now! Being home alone with no plans to see anyone (apart from the delivery man!) does nothing for ones appearance!

Katdun - I'm re-inspired to try latch hooking after seeing that Pac-Man rug!

LPB - I want to learn to knit just for that Triforce glove!

I received my package today from Ezsebeth all the way from Belgium! I was so excited to receive it that I did an unboxing series on my twitter.

I love both things she included (plus a lovely letter - Elsbeth, you sound like an absolutely wonderful person!)

She knit me a toque (that's a wool hat for you non-Canadians) inspired by Circus Charlie, my favourite NES game of all time.

The BIG item absolutely blew my mind.

A Yoshi's Island blanket. I never planned to have kids but now I may need to have kids some day so that I can tuck them in using that blanket.
Thank you SO much - I feel so lucky!
Pretty okay!
