Okay, so technically I don’t celebrate Easter, but that’s never stopped my mother from sending me a box full of goodies. I suppose I could just look at it as a really late Ostara box…

Anyway, the sum total of my crafting this week has been to rip out my new project–the Apline Lace Scarf from Victorian Lace Today–three times, because apparently I cannot count to 121 with any accuracy and ripping out cross stitch because it seems I also cannot tell the difference between two shades of pink, despite the fact that one is bright and on is pale.

Possibly, I should not try to do anything requiring concentration while I am also watching Colin Firth be polite and charming while wearing breeches.

Anyhow–I did get these goodies in the mail! (Please ignore the mess and really fat cat butt.)

I love the bunnies–the bunny in the purple sweater? So adorable and SO SOFT. And of course lots of candy, and chick flicks–Save the Last Dance and Sense and Sensibility, becuase my mother is a wonderful enabler. But the most exciting thing? The set of prep bowls and a citrus juicer! I realize these may  not be exciting to some, but trying to get fresh lemon or lime juice by hand just sucks, and I haven’t been able to find a small, inexpensive citrus juice around here! And the prep bowls should be great–there is nothing more frustrating than trying to measure out a bunch of spices while I’m in the middle of cooking.

Other than that, not much to say. I’ve mostly been watching Pride and Prejudice movies and bemoaning the loss of manners and nice clothes…but that’s a post for another time…
