I didn't hear from my gifter so as a result I had no clue what to expect.

I arrived home after a long day to find not one but two packages on my porch. One was quite heavy and the other fairly large.

The heavy box contained a fantastic book, "One Yard Wonders: 101 Sewing Projects" I'm over the moon to have this. The book includes patterns, has many, many designs I plan to make & I can't wait to get started. My only dilemma is going to be figuring out what it is I want to make first! The patterns contained include clothing, housewares, carry-alls, and toys. I'm so excited to make things for my house - thank you many times over, gifter!

The larger box contained a killer cookbook, "Bake & Destroy: Good Fo od for Bad Vegans" I'm so impressed with this book; and more impressed that my gifter was able to find a vegan cookbook I haven't seen! smoothies, breakfast pizzas, bike messenger brownies, panzanella, bbq kale chips, falafel waffle and more. oh my! Wanna come over for grub?!

This box also contained a very sweet collection of natural cat toys. A few balls with bells, a feather teaser and a mouse. I can't seem to get a picture of Calliapea actually playing with them - all those photos come out blurry. Please accept this silly picture of her looking for toys in exchange. :)

Thank you again FirePfenix - All of these things are items i would have picked out myself. Your generosity is wonderfully appreciated. I hope your gifter was just as good to you. :)

Update: holy cow!!! I was surprised to get another package. My gifter picked two wonderfully fantastic cuts of cotton fabric for me to get creative with. I plan to make a bag with the giraffe fabric and I'm undecided about the beautiful bird fabric. Pillows? A skirt? Something else...? The pattern book will be put to use immediately! Thank you for your generosity & thoughtfulness in picking out A+ gifts!
