fun swap

A few months back, this nice blogging friend suggested a swap. I had commented on her knitting and she so generously offered to make something for Penelope. Nice, huh?
Well, right before I hosted my sister’s shower, I received her marvelous package. You should have heard Penny imitating my oohing and ahhing…I obviously could not restrain myself and ripped the package open while driving to pick up my kids from school. The lady at the post office kindly cut the envelope for me!

Check out the matching sweater for Penny’s best pal “Piggy”.

The washcloth was also a really nice surprise. I am ALWAYS taken by knitting and can not even imagine how you people do it…really. It’s like when people put additional electrical wiring in their house…can’t imagine doing it!
The 3 soaps Allison sent you will not believe the play, clutching, and sleeping these poor little bears have gone through…that is why there is only one left. Hopefully Ollie won’t decide to chomp on it. Seriously, everytime Penny sleeps, eats, or leaves the house, she must have have the pig, the washcloth, and the bear soap with her. She even puts the soap to bed and pats its’ back. Okay, I need to stop. I’m sure most of you tire of hearing about a 2 year olds life…I would!

And of course, this hat was such an extra bonus! The little kitty cat ears gives Penny every reason in the world to meow and I love it!
THANK YOU Allison! What a fun swap and thanks for the great book too!
By the way, this was my end of the bargain.
