DOLDRUMS ... and no doldrums

In another swap, 'Defeat the Doldrums,' my secret pal didn't come through, so once again I was assigned an angel... and here's what she sent me today!

Wow, this was a great package... a lovely dishcloth that's too nice to be a dishcloth, a pair of beautiful wooden needles, a skein of Cherry Tree Hill cotton, sticky notes and homemade soap, Starbucks coffee beans, a lovely little sheep-laden drawstring bag (the perfect size for a skein of yarn and small project), and of course, chocolate. Very impressive!

Oh ... I forgot to include in the picture an adorable little sheep whose legs can be 'pulled!' Pics tomorrow...

It was a gorgeous sunny day so we went for a dinghy ride and ended up at Fisherman's Wharf -- the world-famous Barb's Fish n' Chips -- for supper ...

This dude stood guard over our dinghy the whole time we were eating...

And this was our view this evening...


In knitterly news, I'm working on the blue shawl I started a few weeks ago, and with frogging and knitting, I think I'm up about 4 stitches today. Oh, and I *have* made progress on the River Rock scarf.

All in all, a lovely day!

YIPPEE! I can finally come out of hiding! LOL I've been wanting to comment so badly on your beautiful scenery pictures. :-)

Oh, and I the soap was made by me. I hope you like the scent I picked. :-) Oh, and your gift certificate to Harvest Mood Designs for your dishcloth will be coming today.

Anyhow, I'm so glad your package made it safely. I was worried that I'd filled out the customs forms wrong and it was being held.

Love the photo of the houseboats.

And what a fabulous package!
