I received this lovely Spring Clean package (as in I'm going to be super clean now)  from Araignee earlier this month. I wanted to get a picture of the lovely loot before tearing into it's perfect packaging. Her talent and kindness exceed anything I deserve. I did put myself on the list for a lotion bar (Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! and basically just won the jackpot! Love it all. Smells so good ...

And something new. Angelettis using the Real Simple recipe. I should mention that these are also done with Anise flavoring but my people prefer vanilla and it's all about crowd pleasing. I packed up a bunch and did a few deliveries for some friends of mine nearby.

Lastly our usual family gathering plans for Easter were reconfigured and we decided to not make any backup plans that would take us out of the city. My husband already got tickets to a rock concert literally walking distance from the apartment. We chaperoned our boy and met up with another family. We came home late with our ears buzzing and ate some Shepard's Pie made with leftover beef stew and crawled into our beds.

And now Spring Break has begun. Well for the student anyways.

I am still knitting. I sat down with some Harry Potter this weekend and weaved in a bunch of wiley ends.  I cried through the leg of a sock with Steel Magnolias and am ready to begin the heel flap.

The sweater definitely needs blocking as I am finding the body bind off rolls on one half of the sweater (?!?) I hate when I follow instructions, "bind off in pattern my sweet a..."

The sock will progress in it's own time. I have dreams of casting on again ...

So a yarn post soon! Meanwhile, hold on to the happy. Tell me, what's making you happy right now?
