Wow. I feel incredibly happy and lucky and thankful to have a Santa as thoughtful and wonderful as mine! The package which Santa sent me had just arrived this morning, having just missed the Christmas rush. Of course, I was very excited to receive it...especially when the label said "crochet kit"!!

But the truth is, I had been waiting since Christmas eve to post a thank you note to my Santa. You see, the Christmas rush and the postal system being what it is meant that my package did not make it in time for Christmas. This was not the fault of Santa AT ALL. Santa noticed the delivery status, thanks to tracking...and then went above and beyond on Christmas eve and got me another gift of crochet patterns (!!!), delivered instantly via google drive. I was not expecting this at all, and was very touched by this kind and generous gesture.

You can see these patterns in the pictures! They are absolutely adorable and round and squishy and I can't wait to make them up! Santa, I will update this post some time later with the finished softies so you can see what they look like!! :) I am also very serious about sending you some of these softies, especially the blue jay ;). Please do let me know if you have changed your mind :) It would mean so much to me!

Now, back to the package that I received this morning! As you can see, it is a little kitten crochet kit...it comes with all the bits and bobs needed for the project, and was so nicely packaged in a little box. The yarn is also awesome: 100% pure lambswool! So soft and squishy and luxurious. As I normally use cheaper acrylic for softies, it is going to be such a treat making this kitten with nice yarn! I thought that this was a very well-chosen, thoughtful gift from Santa, taking in consideration my passions: cats and crochet!

Thank you so much once again, Santa. You have made me feel so very special this Christmas. Happy New Year to you, and may you have an awesome year ahead!
