i think the conversation had gone something like this

TheBon: "I'd like to send you some sort of housewarming gift. Is there something you'd like or need?"

TheAmpuT: "Actually, what I'd really love is some handknit dishcloths. My new kitchen is bright (effing) orange, and the ones I have from my last place are all greens and purples."

TheBon: "Oh, I will totally do that for you."

Since that conversation, I've gotten little updates here and there.... "I am knitting them now." "They're done, but I have to get to the post office to mail them." "They are on their way." .....and every time we chat about it, I have pictured two warshrags. TWO.

Look what came in the mail the other day.



Not two, but FIVE warshrags, in bright (effing) orange, plus an orange veggie brush, and a brown kitchen towel (the other predominant kitchen color because of the hardwood floors, which extend into the kitchen). She also tossed it party favors from her recent wedding, which included needlepoint bookmarks, M & M's (promtly inhaled--I'm surprised the even made it into the photo) in the wedding colors, and the most adorable kitchen magnets. She even put a gift for MyFavoriteKid in the package---a fossilized nautilus shell from Peru, which MyFK loves because he is quite the collector of fancy rocks and crystals.

Way more than two dishcloths, dude. Thanks, Bon!
(To all you knitbloggers out there, this is someone I "met" through the comments section of someone else's blog. We now chat online together all the time, and we have also met in person. All hail the mighty internet!)

Lots of other goodies around here these days, and I hope to get photos up soon. I finally scored a real coffee table, and I am a couple of days away from having a real nightstand (which, like the coffee table, has also been a box). I'm getting some art up on the walls, and I am finishing up a custom framing project for a gorgeous piece of art I bought from MissJodiGreen. (here's a peek)




Have a good weekend, gang ;-)
