Birthday gift

I got this lovely packet from my birthday twin and good friend Lori in USA. Lovely yarn and a book I`ve wanted to read. Me and Lori will read it together. Looking forward for that. Thanks a lot Lori.

Another packet from Lori

Sweet Lori sent me another packet. I`m the lucky owner of three knitting magazines, a knitting pin (cute), measuring tape (funny), 14 lollies and square needles which I haven`t tried before, but can`t wait to try out. i also got a card with symptoms of O.C.K.D. (obsessive Compulsive Knitting Disorder). ME?? Noooo. Well, I must admit I feel guilty of some of the symptoms... Thanks my dear. :)

Packet from Lori

Last week I was the happy receiver of a packet with goodies from my new friend Lori in the USA. We met through Ravelry in December and have got a nice friendship since then. She had felted me a lovely pair of purple slippers, very warm. I also got Opal yarn, pens, a CD, a notepad tic tac, gum and lots of chocolate (all is gone by now). Thanks a lot sweet Lori. I loved it all.

Hvilken lykke.../What a happiness...

...det var å komme hjem i går (nå er det vel blitt forleden dag) etter tre lange arbeidsdager, å finne ikke mindre enn fem pakker og et bursdagskort fra Danmark liggende å vente på meg. Jeg ble bare stående å stirre for jeg hadde forberedt meg på en dag uten post, etter selv å ha funnet postboksen tom. Ikke viste jeg at mannen hadde vært på posten før han dro på fisketur. Jeg var alene hjemme så ingen hørte mine gledes utbrudd etter hvert som all det deilige garnet og de andre godisene kom til syne. Det må ha vært min beste postdag på mange år. I 1992 fikk jeg 16 brevvenn brev på en dag., og det var også stor lykke.
...it was to come home after three long working days, to find not less than five packets and a birthday card from Denmark waiting for me. I was prepared for a day without mail as I`d found my mail-box empty. What I didn`t knew was my hubby already had been collecing the mail before he went fishing. He wanted to surprise me and I really was. I was stunned, but when all the yummi yarn and the other goodies revealed, I couldn`t stop myself from screaming from happiness. It was my best mail day in many years. In 1992 I got 16 penpal letters in one day, that was a happy day as well.

For en herlig strikke jul/What a lovely knitting holiday

Sjekk hva nissen hadde med til meg denne jula; 17 nøster garn, tre pinner str 2.75, tre strikkebøker: Strikk - en reise til indre ro av Kari Hestnes, Knitting Vintage Socks og Knitting On The Road av Nancy Bush, et hekle hefte med kluter i og et engalsk strikke blad og boka Fredagsstrikkeklubben av Kate Jacobs som jeg fikk i en tidlig julegave av min søster, kunne ikke vente til jula for å lese den.
Look what Santa brought me, lots of knitting goodies, 17 sjeins of yarn, bamboo needles, 3 knitting books, one crocket dishcloth pattern book, one English knitting magazine and an early gift I got from my sister; The Friday Knitting Club. Couldn`t wait till Christmas to read that one.
