ooooh look.....
ooooh another language it came from far away! Yay!
ooooh pretty stripey paper!
ooooh my wrists are always freezing, like the rest of me! These are purdy!
and LOOK LOOK at this perfect shade of baby-shit-yellow mohair! isn’t it dreamy?
and now for the rest of the package...some zippers and some candy and a little norway flag patch! look what they are sitting on...the whole reason for this trade...see that black and white pouch?
why i did a trade with Hanne. Hanne makes pouches too. She liked ours so much she decided to improve upon it and make it all different. I wrote to her and asked if we could trade. She got the Amy Butler Intown black and white bag and all the goodies i posted last week. When she gets my package i’ll link so you can see all the goodies i sent to her. She has the cutest kids and beautiful knitting..I just feel like a stalker because i can’t read her blog, i just peep every week. here’s her totally awesome pouch.
and here’s what makes it all different...the inside flap!
Thanks so much Hanne! I loved doing this trade with you and had fun.
Nat has his moustachefactory buttons being sold at Rotofugi we got to drop them off this weekend and buy some cool toys. I picked up some cool limited artist series HINT MINTS with tin done by Base Man. And my new favorite little blind-box toy..a Yummy Donut keychain by Kid Robot. I now have four of these and two are doubles. If you want to trade let me know i have two pink and brown donuts!
and Rachel had posted about these moo cards a few weeks ago. Scroll down to MOO CARDS. Which i thought was funny because sitting on nat’s table was a box of these very same cards. He ordered them for when he sells his paintings at the craft shows. They are very cool little mini cards and perfect for artists. Nat’s vibrant colors and bold strokes look nice in these. Here’s some of my favorites..
you will see the infamous Mr. Horse and Kitty our embroidered animals have been inspired from his paintings!
Thanks for all of the entertaining comments on the post i am NOW going to refer to as “stupid republicans post”...i’ve managed to save all the yarn fromt he big scattered messes. I now have to tend to the mess of the hank. This is most challenging because it’s quite messed up but still sort of in it’s shape. Ugh. so many tangles. But i’m saving all of it, even if it’s been cut..it will all still knit up just fine if i can get it untangled!!

OOOHHHHHHHH.
Using the Moo cards for art is a GREAT! idea. I’m anxiously awaiting my free pack… should be here any day. Thaan I will order a REAL pack, once I take some decent pictures. I just need to wrest Robert’s camera from him.... heh.

So much amazing goodness you got there! I’m excited for you (and thanks for sharing so the rest of us could see!)
It’s funny that you mention the moo cards - I came across a link for them a while back - and have been trying to figure out exactly what I could use them for. They seem so cute.
Is there somewhere online where I can view Nat’s paintings? I had no idea he painted, and I love the look of his moo cards!
