« New day, new WIP | Main | Ebay Sale: Check out the stitch markers »

They're Here, They're Here!!!
I got the box from my sister today with the stitch markers. I restrained myself until I got into my car but then tore into the box with abandon. Only to discover the world's best tape job. DAMNIT! The keys were already in the ignition and the only thing around was my favorite purple ballpoint pen. I must have looked like a lunatic poking holes in the tape and muttering under my breath. Whew, finally! I open the box and what do I find? ANOTHER TAPED UP BOX! AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Eh hem. Okay. Poke, poke, poke with the ballpoint pen. Excellent, now where are they? Hey, what's this? ANOTHER TAPED UP BOX! (Just so you don't think I am kidding, I put a picture in the album below) At this point, I was rolling with laughter. These stitch markers were traveling in high comfort. I get the box open while uttering a prayer to the Tape Goddess. WooHoo, no more boxes but now there were tiny little packets of bubble wrap protecting each fish. Talk about delayed gratification.
Anyhow, as you have already guessed, the stitch markers are much, much (MUCH, MUCH) cooler in person. I put a bunch of pictures of them in the photo album. I put them on my Italian T-shirt that has been languishing in the bottom of my WIP basket (which, by the way, was also a gift from my sister!). Of course, I would never use stitch markers every ten stitches because it makes the WIP too heavy and jangley but my goal was to show them in action. I tried to pick a favorite but couldn't. I will say that I am partial to the fishies with big red lips, LOL.

sorry about the tape,LMBO, but it made for a very funny read
Your pics look way better than mine.
I can't wait for you to see the sheep in person, even I LOVE them.

OH YEAH...I really like your name

Those are gorgeous, Deb! I love the sheep and the little black one is perfect for those in the round projects that need not only multiple markers, but a distinct one for the beginning of each round. Tell your sis, I would love to buy a set of those off her (or you, the fiber fairy!) as soon as she has them!

I'm trying to remember my new E mail-I'm now on dsl.although I still have the alternate one belva@gate.net. Don't ask me why I had to make a new one when they still recognize the old one!
However Deb. fiberfairy went into the spam blocker and I almost missed it. However it's now in my addressbook!
I've already told you how much I liked your letter of actions, and the glass beads, and your smart kids, especially ELI's reading! Love gramma

I LOVE those stitch markers - ALL of them but especially the black sheep! Would your sister want to start selling some wholesale?? I could just see those flying out of my shop!
Hope all is well with you Deb!

I'd love to be able to buy some of those markers -- I hope you'll let us know when and how to buy them.
