"C Wants a Party" Swap Package
Hello All!
I'm back home again now and I'm trying to adjust to the cooler weather here and get back into my daily routine. I had such a lovely time on vacation - it was great to be able to spend time with some of my family that I don't get to see very often and I had lots of fun soaking up the sun and warm weather!! It was wonderful to get away for a bit, but it's also nice to be back!
I had a lovely surprise waiting for me when I arrived home. My Itty-Bitty "C Wants a Party" swap package was here!! I made myself wait until Sunday morning to open it so that I could get good pictures, but it was so worth the wait!!!! My swap partner was the amazing Becca (borkles) and she totally spoiled me :D This is a list of what she sent to me:
A cupcake hat and pincushion that are knit out of the softest yarn and are so beautiful! I'm saving the hat for my own baby one day. The pincushion has pins already in it to look like sprinkles and is going to sit right beside my sewing machine.
Cupcake-shaped soap from Pink Dotted Owl that smell delicious and is now in my bathroom.
Some Bay Rum soap by Sandy’s Handmade Soaps & Things that also smells so good and is going to be put in the shower since I think it would be the most delightful smell to wake up to.
Two soak washes in Aquae and Flora plus 4 tags to attach to my knitted gifts that tells how to care for the items - which is so cool because I’ve been wanting to try Soak for a long time and the tags are beyond cute!
Some adorable cupcake stitch markers that I'm going to have to put to use really soon :)
The book “60 Quick Baby Knits” that I’ve been wanting ever since it came out! There are SO MANY great patterns in it that I don't even know where to start.......although the Fisherman's Pullover just might be the first one, it is so adorable.
A skein of Sunshine Yarns Luxury Sock yarn in a gorgeous green colour called Matcha. I was originally planning on making socks with it, but I might knit the Lettuce Slide Scarf instead since the colour would be perfect and the cashmere in the yarn would feel fantastic around my neck!!
And a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy Sock yarn in a beautiful pink colour called Petal Shower. This colour reminds me so much of cupcake frosting!! I may have to wind it up and start a pair of socks right away!
Here are some pictures:
Thank you SO VERY MUCH Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You did such an amazing job of filling this package with things are are so "me"!! It was one of the best things to return to, and I'm so blessed and just thrilled with it all!!
Much Love xx
P.S. You can check out some more pictures of the package on my project page.

C is for Cupcake
Hello There,
I know I mentioned before that I joined the latest Itty-Bitty Group swap over on Ravelry which is cupcake themed. However, I haven't shared any pictures of the projects I knit for my swap partner yet, but since I mailed out her package this morning and the pictures don't really reveal who my partner is, I think it's safe to share a couple with you today.
First off is the cupcake hat. I used Borroco Palace and Vintage for it since I thought they were both super soft yarns fit for a baby. I chose these colours because they look pretty enough to eat, just like a cupcake should look!!
Next is the cupcake pincushion. This was super fast and fun to make and turned out AdOrAbLe!! I was thinking about how I'd like to make one for myself, and then remembered that my own swap partner will be sending me one! lol (Dear my swap partner: if you're reading this, I'm very much looking forward to getting my own pin cushion, just to let you know!!).
After seeing another member of the swap post a picture of some cupcake stitch markers she made, I decided to give it a try and make a few for my swap partner too! They're not as cute as hers, but I think they turned out ok. I think I need a little more practice.
I included a few other handmade items, but just in case my swap partner reads my blog, I don't want to share them just yet and spoil the fun!! I'm so excited for her to recieve the package, hopefully it gets to it's destination very quickly!
I hope you are all having a lovely FriDaY!!!!! The weekend is in sight, YaY!!
Lots of Love xx
P.S. Crocheters, have you seen the adorable hanger covers over on Spud Says!?? They're so cute, and best of all, they're a free pattern! I think they'd make a great weekend project!
