Not only did Amy treat me to crafting and Fruit Tarts, she also spoiled me with some birthday presents!! Such fun and colorful wrapping paper :) Tied together with coordinating yarn - and on the outside, a carebear and a skein of blue yarn - bet you'll never guess where it's from....Target! LOL! Off to the side, you'll see the fruits of my crafting time with Amy - she took pity on my pooor hands and we polymer clay'd my crochet hooks. Haven't had a chance to use them yet, but they certainly seem easier to handle now that they have proper handles on them. In addition to helping me bulk up my crochet hooks, Amy took some time to show me the basics of working with polymer clay - unfortunately, I can't show off my attempts (or the cute ebi pins Amy made while demonstrating manipulation of Fimo to me) as my camera refused to focus on such small items.
Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering what was in the wrapping paper...it was books! I looooove books!
I am now a proud owner of the ever popular Teva Durham's Loop-d-Loop - and the first project tagged is the leaf pullover :) I sure hope I have yarn in the stash already for it!
The second book is a Japanese sewing craft book - handmade Zakka. ISBN: 4579110080. It has a bunch of adorable little sewing projects inside...if I could just get past my issues with cutting fabric! LOL :)
Thanks so much Amy, you spoil me!

hehehe! You are totally worth it! So glad you liked everything! :)
Happy Birthday on the 30th!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have many more.
So cute! I love the idea of claying the hooks (and I also like using the word clay as an adjective). Loop-d-Loop is one of the best knitting books ever, especially the color chapter. Happy Birthday (I know I said it already, but I can't say it too much!)
