Now on to the loot.
First the crafty b-day loot. Alerting your relatives to the Webs sale (and in fact explaining to them exactly what you want) can yield this:

That is a whole sweater’s worth of Noro Kueryon #88. god bless webs.

Last night at knitting, Wenonah brought me the most perfect birthday present.

It is perfect because I didn’t even know that I liked clocks, and I totally love this one! See (and hear) it in action here. It might take a bit of maintenance to replace a missing knob, but once i do i think i will be able to get the alarm to work too!

Debbie brought some delicious champagney/cidery stuff called Babycham that apparently originates in england. It was pretty tasty and had an adorable deer on the front of it. (picture to be added later since flickr stopped cooperating) Awesome!
