Of packages and others.....

So, here I've been for the last few days thinking, need to post, but I did that one the other day, but really should post.  So I go and look at my blog today before I begin to post, and I managed to never actually post the last post I wrote.  Sheeeh!  I was doing drafts and never reset it to post now.  What a dork I am!!!

Consequently, I'll need to now do a bit of a double post here and redo, and oh heck, scrap the whole thing and start again!

Item One:  Packages!

   I got my final package from my Secret Pal who is Lynn from Chico, CA!  Thanks Lynn, you've been an awesome secret pal!!  She sent a pile of goodies, needles with a silk case, a bunch of dishcloths, a hand decorated tote, yarn and koolaid to dye, sock yarn, a teapot/teacup, crackers and some chai tea.  Phew, did I get it all???

I also got the next Socks that Rock Club package today:

   A little similar to last months offering, but pretty.  I was hoping for a drastically different one, but oh well.  I don't think I'll ever use the temporary tattoo, though.  There's a name that yarn contest too, but I suck at those things.

Item Two:  Knitting

  There is knitting behind the fuzzy head, really.  Zoe really insists on trying to help take pictures.  It got better with the next one:      Less fuzz.  Now for the cat free shot:     That's one and a half squares of Chelsea's blanket.  Only like 14 and a half to go.  Sigh.  The kid might be a year old before it's done. 

Item three:  Bog Mummies and Butterflies

Don't really sound like they go together do they?  But that's what you get with a trip to The LA Museum of Natural History.  We got to see the Bog Mummies, which were fascinating and walk through the butterfly pavilion, which I love.  Apparently, some of the butterflies were in love too:    And they thought Amy was an ideal place to mate.  Sorry about the slight graininess, forgot my camera and only had the phone.  I love these two also:

     Actually, I'm pretty amazed at the quality from my new phone.  They're pretty good photos for a camera phone.

Item four:  Forgotten picture

I took this at the hotel in Chicago, the King Tut exhibit is in town and to celebrate, the hotel chef made a chocolate mask:

   Chocolate Tut, anyone?

Up Next: Puppies and Halas Holiday!

Oooh, Bog Mummies! Very cool--Have you read Wilderness Tips by Margaret Atwood? It's a great collection, but I think the Bog Man story was my favorite.

I LOVE Monarch butterflies. They make me really happy. :)
