Christmas

Inside the packing snot was a custom-made, deeply superior yarn bowl (a super bowl indeed!), so the answer to question 5 above must be .... I dunno but I won it!

The superiority of this bowl is inherent in the fact that not only can I knit with the spaghetti this guy is trying to eat ...

but also with his brains as they are drawn out of his earhole!

(for the uninitiated this means that if I'm working on a project which I'm like to take out of the house to work on I'd use the earhole slot so that I can leave the Superb-bowl safely at home. Or if the project is one I'm going to work on at home only, I can use the spaghetti. Or I can use the Superb-bowl to hold two balls of yarn ... genius!).

Oh, and the project is signed!

Thank you so much Jim and Spencer - what a lovely gift!

It's a Christmas that just keeps on giving!
Gifts arrived at Chateau Limey from another of the Cellar's formidable father/son duos today.

A fabulous generously proportioned mug (in an equally pretty and very useful box), and two beautiful expressions of friendship to decorate my home. Together with a card. Thanks Dan and Classic - you're too kind! xxx

Thats a beautiful gift, Jim. Damn all of you are so talented.

We love you limey. You have been so amazing to us.
Dan picked out all of that himself. One day I hope for us to get to visit Chateau Limey.
Gotta get Danny a passport first and some cash.

That is brill. I thought that maybe Monster made it. In any event, really clever.

I was starting to wonder if it would ever arrive.

I though maybe my drunken box decorating got it picked up by customs.... I was checking the secret santa thread. Forgot about this one. I asked spencer to make that for you about a year ago.... It sat in it's box waiting for this christmas for like 6 months... hence the extra solid foam packing.

I just wish it was a tad larger.... but then, you could use it for your miniatures, I guess.

Glad you like it! I'll let the artist know.

Love you Limey!

I assumed the exuberance on the box was from Spencer! Thanks again, guys, it's awesome! X
