I'm so lucky!
Yesterday was an excellent mail day... I received a package from my mother, and then a lovely package from a lovely person who offered to order me a kit from The Plucky Knitter for the absolutely incredible Color Affection shawl by Veera Välimäki
(the colourway is Hippie Hippie Chic)
As you can see it's not all that Heliraj sent me!!!
Today I received some consolation yarn (no hugs for me because I'm going through a therapy for hyperthyroidism and must stay apart from the kids) from Handu dyed by Ilu...
accompanied by the usual super cute buttons!
And then I got to see the cave-man, who is in hospital recovering from an operation... (He's all recovered if you ask me, and has lost weight... too much skin under his chin.) =) Glad he's okay again!

Election Day
2 - PEKKA HAAVISTO (vihr)
3 - TIMO SOINI (ps)
4 - PAAVO VÄYRYNEN (kesk)
5 - PAAVO LIPPONEN (sdp)
6 - SAULI NIINISTÖ (kok)
7 - SARI ESSAYAH (kd)
8 - EVA BIAUDET (r)
9 - PAAVO ARHINMÄKI (vas)
Today Finland votes for a new President... an election that was pretty obvious from the start has becme more interesting as days have gone by... I didn't have a chance to vote this time, it's just too far to travel right now, but I sure know who I would have voted! Hoping to see him on round 2...
The funny thing is that if all the people I call friends were the only ones voting there would be no doubt on who would win... I think atleast 95% voted Number 2!
