Secret Pal Parcel 1

Well I got back tonight to find this nice little parcel waiting for me:




Opening it up inside I found this nicely wrapped in pretty paper:




On top were these two sets of buttons:



I'm now going to have a good route through my patterns to find a jumper I can utilise them for. SP do you know I have a soft touch for buttons?

Next up were these:



which revealed this nice bag:



I think I'll be able to utilise this for carrying my socks I'm knitting at the moment although I think it will also work quite well size way for several lace projects I have in mind so it definitely be put to good use for some time to come. The problem I find with knitting bags as a whole is that they are very much geared up for the female market and don't seeem to take into account that there is a male market out there as well as a female market who are not particularly girly!

Inside the parcel inside the bag I found this in the main packet:


Having read the note from my SP I think she was a bit worried about it but there was nothing to worry about. I've been looking at this series for a while as I've never really grown out of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" type books that have been around for 25+ years so this one hit the nail on the head although I think she was slightly worried about its choice by her little note.

The little packet attached to the book contained these lovely badges and they are now adorning my coat:


Packed separately and awaiting to be munched are these yummies:



The diet has taken a back seat as I've been comfort eating the past couple of weeks due to everything that has been happening so I guess 1 July is going to be the d-day!

Thanks for all of this SP you've hit trumps all the way :-D
