I just got my Seekrit Santa package! And it's completely lovely, and a box of treats in the middle of a bout of unemployment bitterness and angst turns out to be even better than a box of treats amongst a bunch of other boxes of treats at official treat box time.
A gorgeous rainbow-colored (but a deep, rich, saturated rainbow, that suits my coloring beautifully) scarf (knit? crocheted? anyway, it's gorgeous, like an amazing intricate spiderweb, delicate-looking but strong and warm), a box of deliciously sleazy pulp fiction book cover stationery, and, best of all, beautifully framed and Photoshop-customized pictures of Matilda and Emmett. I have one set up on our shelves right now and am setting the others aside as a sign of hope that I'll soon have a new work desk to put them up on.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Santa Theo!!!!
Yay!
Yeah, the scarf is knit, though it looks lacy and spidery like crochet. It came out the way that I wish all my scarves looked! So glad that it will suit! And I thought long and hard about the pictures, and finally concluded that two sets would be a good idea. :-)

I have one of those and it is, indeed, gorgeous.
Also, Theo, the dust mite doll just recently met its demise...but with great gusto and after many, many hours of pooch play.
Does this mean we can close the thread now?
Heh -- well, at least the doll gave good service.
I'm giving my santa an indefinite stay of giftiness due to extenuating circumstances.

(I am not Laga's Santa, but she and I have spoken about the Santa-situation.)
It's being taken care of, love. This weekend at the latest.
I still need to get my gift back to Ireland for Jars...unless she plans to visit any time soon....
Um... I'll be visiting in August? But you can totally send it to my in-laws' place in Boston if it's easier?
