Written Whispers

Hello all! Guess what? I got a box!

You want to know what’s in that box?

Awesomeness, that’s what’s in the box.

Crystalina, the friend of mine that I mentioned in my last post whose gotten me into crocheting– she made Kei, my Husband, and I all this awesome stuff for Christmas/Whatever. She’s so awesome. Thank you Crystalina!

Now, because I’ve just woken up and discovered I really do have batteries lying around for my digital camera, I have some photos for your viewing and my writing about enjoyment.

All right the one at the top is me, obviously for those of you who have seen my picture before. I am stylishly wearing the cutest hat in the universe, a beautiful neck warmer, and the most useful thing for any writer or computer geek living in Michigan– hand warmers! Even better these are hand warmers without fingers so I can still use my laptop mouse or throw toy mice at Gabe. I love them!

In the second and third picture we have Gabriel (a.k.a. Kitten) enjoying his part of the gift giving– a lovely box that will eventually be lost, re-mailed (if I get a chance to go shopping for Crystal this month), or peed on by another cat at which point Gabe will come crying to Mommy until I find a suitable paper bag for his enjoyment. Silly cat, it’s like a repeating cycle with boxes and bags.

In the next photo we have *drum roll please* Kei-Kei-chan! Kei is an artist in every sense of the word and these wonderful colors will warn any of us from a distance to keep our white walls covered and our markers hidden for fear of the intensely awesome, and thus blinding, creativity within. These are so perfect for her and I love her hat. I almost stole it before I found mine and fell in love all over again.

Crystalina, being ever thoughtful and wonderful, also made a really cool hat for my Hunny and he really needed one too since a lot of this month has been spent pushing and pulling our little truck in and out or sideways from driveways since much of the time he didn’t have any winter wear on at all! I love the colors too and it fits him perfectly. Crystal, he’s been wearing it all morning and is gaming with it on as I type this.

Collectively Crystal sent us: The box (I have to include this else Gabe might realize he didn’t really get anything and become jealous like the orange ball of pure menace he is), two sets of hand warmers, three hats, a neck warmer, a scarf, two really cute drawstring bags, and a bag of caramels that won’t last past dinner time.

If you’d like Crystalina to crochet something please don’t hesitate to drop on by her blog and tell her so. She’s always on the look out for new projects and challenges and though she is trying to get a business open she sets very reasonable and low prices. If there are any others out there who crochet please stop in and say hi to her sometime, I know she’s always looking to meet others, and I ‘think’ if I remember right she’s looking for people to make Granny squares for some donation project (At least I think it was her who told me this, I did just wake up– hence the out of it look in my photos– and so can’t entirely be held accountable for the things I say or write).

On another quick note: Some of you may notice I just changed my site template. I had to translate some of the code from Italian to English and may have missed something– if something looks wrong or you notice something written in a language you can’t read please let me know. I know I still need to do the footer but I haven’t found the file with the precise code yet so please bear with me and let me know what thing. Please and thanks and once again-

Thank you Crystalina! Kei and I send love and hugs (and eventually gifts) your way. Peace out!

[Side note: I know I look a little hazy eyed, several people in the past have accused me of looking ‘high’– I am not nor have I ever been high. Aside from just waking up I don’t have any glasses on and can’t entirely focus on the camera let alone my own hand before my face.]
