Happy Things Come in the Mail

The upside to being sick this week was that I got to be home and open packages right away when they came with pretty things for me!
First up are some awesome new suits from the Finals via their Funkies collection. I love these suits and wear them almost exclusively. Why? They're super fun (animal prints and glitter), they last well and they're comfy without being too loose or too tight for very long. Plus they're different from the typical solid color suits or non-metallic that people over the age of 10 seem to think they should wear. Idk-I'm excited to have these two new beauties to be rocking when I head to the pool.

This was a super awesome order from the one and only Spartickes Dyes. I love the tag on the yarn (which is Better Call Saul from her Breaking Bad series). I haven't watched Breaking Bad yet, but I really liked these colors! I think they'll be a super fun pair of socks! I also ordered one of her super cool bags- I really like it but a friend who loves the Giants has recently gotten into to knitting and I was thinking about seeing if she would like it as the inside is a great marbled orange that's very Giantsy. Idk, I haven't decided yet and it is currently holding my Christmas sock yarns that aren't actually projects yet.

And speaking of Christmas-it is five weeks away! I think I better kick my knitting drive into overgear!

    1. Way to go, Kathy! I trimmed my list back in October so now I'm starting to feel in pretty good control…though we'll see how I feel when December 1st rolls around!

  3. I love how colorful your suits are. I miss swimming, and now I don't like any suit I put on (not the suits fault), but back in the day, I was a huge fan of The Finals even their "grab bag".

    The yarn is beautiful. I love project bags and that one is cool and will be enjoyed no matter what you decide. :)

    You're a trouble-maker for introducing me to Spartickes Dyes. I love the Pop Culture references, super fun!

    1. Thanks, E! I love mixing up suits-I don't always love how some of them look on me, but I suffer through :)
      So pretty-I love the references as well! I'm always happy to be an enabler. I think its one of my rare talents

    1. You are so sweet! I've worn both suits already and have gotten lots of compliments! Sorta wishing I had ordered a few more on Black Friday
