First, she must have known of my love of cooking...AND of those crazy old traditional mixes to which New Orleaneans are faithful. I got a treasure trove of mixes...and even made the Jambalaya on MG night! I put on CD she made of favorite home-town music and tossed the PGG Fleur-de-lis sprinkles on the lawn (would have been pretty on the snow...alas, no snow this year).She made me some beautiful PGG stitch markers and packaged them along with this magnificent enormous glass bead fob in a pretty round box enticingly wrapped.
This is an absolutely gorgeous skein of Mardi Gras yarn hand-dyed by my talented partner...love it!
Most wonderful of all was the designed-and-hand-knit item...a scrumptious and soft Malabrigo cowl which I wore all Mardi Gras day.
It is festooned with sparkly psychedelic buttons...a real weakness of mine!
Thanks, Deborah, for organizing ANOTHER great Mardi Gras swap...and to Criquette, a kindred spirit displaced daughter of New Orleans. Happy Mardi Gras, all!

I visited your blog just now and I'm inspired by it. I like how you are conscious about knitting and crafting for a reason and I just have to write a comment on how eyecatching is your Mardi Gras cowl, and I'm seriously thinking of making one myself. Have fun, Josipa.
