Loot, Mail and Little Hats


As promised: a picture of me and all the books I brought home from Brighton. And yes! That is a bookmark signed by Neil Gaiman I'm holding.


My owner also bought two cool t-shirts.


And we collected some cool buttons.


At home this t-shirt was waiting for us.
Amanda Carlson sent it to us because as part of her street team we posted a review of Cold Blooded on Amazon during her Review Blitz.

Talking about cool stuff:


I got marzipan cheese from my owner's OtherHalf.
They made a mistake in the store: They said it was a marzipan pig, but anyone can see that's not a pig. My owner corrected the mistake.


Today we went to the library and got free stuff!
Eric in The Land of Insects is a story about a boy who enters a painting and ends up just as tall as the insects in the painting. The other book has all kinds of art in it. There were also a pen, mints and a coin for a grocery cart.


My owner also bought two of those drinks that sometimes wear those cool hats. This time however we got two small knitting sets so you can knit your own hat!

I told my owner to get knitting of course.


This is her first try.
It's... acceptable.
She managed to get some holes in it, but those are on the back. And even though it's been years since she knitted, she's still the queen of unexplained extra stitches. I think she needs to knit some more hats until she gets it right. And this hat still needs a pompom on top of course!

Ooo I want a booklist of all your loot, and the swag/buttons are absolutely cool as well.

It has been over 30 years since I last knitted or crocheted something, I don't think I can remember how.

I always enjoy when I come home from a trip and find someone sent me a t- shirt.

Love that hat! I never saw any kits like that before, but that would be neat! Did the little hat pattern come with the kit, or did you size a pattern down?

The pattern came with the hat. I think it's a really fun freebie to get with a drink.

Wow - I like your hat! My owner gave me a knitted one also but it's blue.
