My secret pal's better than your secret pal.....
I got home from work on Monday to find a note from the Post Office saying they have tried to deliver a parcel but I was out. No surprise there then - I work 5 days a week and live alone, and my cat has not figured out how to answer the entryphone or open the door yet.
Anyway I can't go pick up said parcel (which I thought contained a swap I made on the knittyboards) on Tuesday or Wednesday because I am out of town for work.
I get home Wednesday night and log into my gmail account to find loads of posts from people who have got parcels from their SPs (including mine), and start to feel a bit jealous of the lovely things people get to play with.
Eventually I manage to go to pick my my parcel, and IT'S FROM MY SP! Yay! Thanks muchly - whoever you are in Oregon, USA.....
So here is a little gallery......
What a prettily wrapped present, and its all for me! And only me! It's mine, all mine!
I tear off the coloured tissue to reveal a series of parcels.... how exciting!
I had asked for the stuff to make Maryella. But wait! Not only are there the hard-to-source-in-the-UK 1.25mm needles, but 4 - yes FOUR - colourways to make FOUR Maryellas!
And once inside I can't wait to start threading the beads - my they are small! I started with the amethyst colour on my sister's advice...... (pearl, green and red came too). I AM a lucky girl! Happy too - see my grin? Oh sorry I forgot - you can't see me can you?!

Yay! You got a parcel! Yay! And looks like you'll be busy for a while too- make sure you do it in good light, my girl, we don't want you going blind (making Maryella, that is. Honestly.). Love the look of Maryella- but I'd never ever have the patience in a million years.

[whiney voice] I wanna secret pal too!
Think I'll go and eat worms....
Seriously jealous of the 1.25mm needles in particular....let's hope my pal from New York has something equally spectacular in his suitcase - will send you pics if I can

So how's about an update on the amethyst maryella? Am I the only one who's seen it and knows how beautiful it is, despite it not being quite finished?
