Happy Yarn Mail

I decided to sign up for 3 months of Happy Yarn Mail at New Years. I was hoping it would be a bit of fun. I didn't expect a lot for the meager price of $19.99 a month. I mean really we all know how much cost goes into a really great project from yarn to pattern. I was expecting a small project I guess, something cutsie. I really didn't look into past projects just wanting to be surprised.

Well...Ashleigh at Sewrella has an amazing talent for designing, I have loved all her patterns on her blog and knew even if it was just a small project I would probably LOVE it.

When It arived I was just floored!!
First of all the package is sooo cute!!! I mean who wouldn't want to come home to this in their mail box??

I was so excited to open this and get started straight away, however I had a BIG afghan I had been dragging my feet on finishing so I used my Happy Yarn Mail as my incentive to finish it. I have to tell you I finished that afghan in record time!! I couldn't wait to open up that cute sprinkled package and see what was inside!!! And I was NOT disappointed at all!

Yes it's a smallish project or rather 2 smallish projects but they could not be any cuter for Valentines day!! 

It was great for a take along project for my lunch breaks at work, and guys if you are at all nervous about being able to complete these cute projects, do not fear, Sewrella has you covered! Each package comes with...

1. Yarn
2. Pattern
3. Password

Password??? Password for what you might ask? A VIDEO TUTORIAL!!! Seriously guys Ashleigh thought of everything!! 

This project pattern was very easy to read (there was typo which is addressed on the video tutorial page) Ashleigh is really on the ball, and the stitch was a beautiful texture which I am in love with!!! I think it would make a beautiful blanket!! 

So have you tried Happy Yarn Mail? Is it something you would love to try?? Each month's kit goes on sale on the 1st of the month, there is a limited supply so order quick or better yet just subscribe to the monthly program!! They ship out around the 25th of the month and mine was here pretty quickly!!  So I know what you're thinking...."where do I sign up??" thats easy...go HERE !!!

Oh and as for your other question "wait, what did you finish making??" It was two beautiful Valentine's Day pouches!! I loved them both, my daughter (12) claimed the white one before I even got it finished so it will be filled with goodies for her on Valentine's Day, the other will be mine. I decided this year to show my self some love by filling up a little treat bag for my self. Chocolates, maybe some lotion, a nail file...who knows the possibilities are endless!! I plan to keep something special in it for me all year long. Just to remind myself to be kind to myself. 

Thanks Ashleigh for such a fun project I can't wait to see what next months project is!!
