May MBOY has arrived!!!

It's here, it's here!! ( ok, not the greatest pic in the world) I came home from my Hebrew lesson this morning AFTER bringing the kiddos to school and a great big box was awaiting my arrival!! Hailing all the way from Colorado... a beautimus wad of yarn and goodies :-D At first glace I could see that it was sock yarn in a very pretty, earthy colorway of natural cream and two variations of an earthy purple. Peeking out from the very start I could see some nifty red white and blue pencils... which were for my boys,an AWESOME button that said "Knitting Is Knotty" ( that found a permanant resting place on my Green Day bag/purse/diaper-multi purpose bag LOL) as well as 2 really rad pairs of barrettes which were supposed to be for the baby to grow into but I've claimed them for myself.They go perfect with my new haircut. So emo LOL!

As I unrolled it I could feel that there was something on the yarn that was so soft! I thought it was my imagination but it wasn't.I had no idea what kind of yarn it as until I was finished... You'll have to read to the end to find out what it is :D <-------- I LOVE making smilies. Anyway, I swear it took my an hour to unravel this mass of yummy yarnage, all jokes aside. On my way through I found several little treats which included

* an adorable handmade black crystal stitch marker ( right up my alley)

* an assortment of delicious teas (Perfect Peach, Ruby Mist, Vanilla Hazelnut Yogi Tea, and Blueberry Stash tea)

* a package of Black Mountain Gold Premium Gourmet Coffee in Swiss Chocolate Almond flavor!!! ( I'm putting that in the french press when the kids go night night)

* an herbal bath tea called Heavenly from Bath Creations by Tiffany (for my dd)

* some Kookaburra wool wash ( which came right on time considering I just washed my woolies and only have enough for like one more washing!)

*and last but not least some yuuuuuummy Creme Savers candy that I can't stop eating. G-d these things are addicting!! Especially the toffee creme ones, yikes.

Sooooo I was right about feeling something soft and different about this yarn. Call me out of the loop but I have never heard of it before but I know I'm going to LOVE this stuff. It's Austermann Step and it has Aloe Vera and Jojoba oil in it. This gets rave reviews online so I can't wait to give it a shot! Here's somewhat of a close up shot so you can see the colors better. My camera isn't the greatest there ever was kwim? From spying around online I believe the colorway is called Holz? Now to find the perfect pattern... A HUGE thank you to the thoughtful mama who put this together for me, Coloradomama aka Misty!! What a treat... did I mention I'm working on Creme Saver #6?
