THE OWL HAS LANDED!! - HSKS7

I got my package from Olivia Gaunt!! It's awesome!! (click on the picture for a close-up)

There's some lovely Huffle-colored wool to use on a really fun felted bag pattern. That twisted handle is cool! I'm already thinking that I might work a pattern into it that will end with one of the twists in black and the other in yellow... The beautiful house unity stitch markers will look really nice against that black and yellow while I'm knitting it! And row counters are always welcome! (I usually have several projects going at once, so it's good for keeping track of where I left off!)

THREE sets of needles! Two sets of lovely bamboo needles (I've been needing some size tens)! And I think I'm going to need a magnifying glass to use the size 0000 needles! It will be fun to see what I can make with them!

I love the little lacy Huffle bag and matching bookmark! They're so cute! And, of course, I love the colors!

There's also a puzzle of the youngest members of my favorite wizarding family and a fun 3D collector card!

I'm already addicted to the snitch quiz game! I would have posted this earlier, but I was playing with my new toys! The game is pretty clever. It's basically 20 questions where the game guesses what your thinking of. It even guessed 'flesh-eating slug repellant'! It didn't guess 'grindylow', but I may have mislead it; I couldn't remember if they have tails....I should probably look that up before exams!

THANK YOU, OLIVIA!! This is such a fun, awesome package!!

I've received a wonderful package from Arriana Stylos!!
I LOVE IT!!(Don't forget to click on the pictures for a closer look!)

The hat is beautiful! I love the design! And it's all Huffle, yay!


Some lovely kettle-dyed wool in all my favorite colors! It's really gorgeous!


Look at the little wizard and unicorn DPN holders and spring basket! Aren't they cute? The notebook just might help me to be more organized in my swaps!(I can use all the help I can get!) And my tree kit! I'm so excited about my Norway Spruce!

We're supposed to get dumped on this weekend, snow-wise, so the Reese's and the mint hot chocolate (YUM!) will be just the thing for snuggling up by the fire with a good book in my Huffle hat!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ARRIANA!!
I LOVE EVERYTHING!!
