5 for 5

The beginning of this month I signed up for a fun little project called 5 for 5.  The idea behind this is that  I will make something special for the first 5 people who replied to my post. But by replying they have to post the same and make 5 things for someone else. So on and so on.   

The good thing about this is I have an entire year to figure out what I’m going to make and send. It can be anything at all as long as I make it…… I still have no idea at all what I’m going to make for the 5 that did sign up.  For those of you that know me well, know that I am no Susie Homemaker so this could get interesting.  Also, it doesn’t have to be the same thing for all 5 people. It’s all up to me. One the things I like best about it. I can really individualize each gift.

So a friend of mine is participating in this fun project and today I received her gift.  Sent  all the way from Finland.

She choose to hand knit some mittens for me in an old  Finnish traditional pattern. They are made out of 100% Lambs Wool. She picked such beautiful colors.

I tried them on and they are so warm. Perfect for the frigid winter we are having.  I look forward to wearing these for many years to come!

Thank you Eija you did an amazing job!
