Awesome Gift Is Awesome! Also kittehs and socks
So when the wonderful and sweet and lovely 
sneezer222/sneezer222 put up the handmade meme, I signed up right away because she's also talented and crafty. :)
I got a box today and when I opened it I damn near fell over from the LOLing. This actually takes some explanation, so bear with me. We met in Phantom Menace fandom on the MA (Master-Apprentice) mailing list. There was a whole list sub culture of Masters and Padawans and I was known as Master Ruth. As in all my fandoms, I wrote a fair amount of TPM kink and that was also the period of time when I was doing the BDSM panel at Escapade. So, Master Sneezer wanted to give me something that reflected that image of me, so...
She knitted me a flogger! It's not the best picture, but it's six strand in purple and two shades of green (my two favorite colors and how she remembered that, I don't know) with a black handle. It's quite possibly the cutest flogger I've ever seen and that includes the one I've got that's made out of bunny fur. I took it for a test drive on my arm and while you can get a teeeeny bit of sting from the very tips, it turns out to be nicely thuddy if you use it backwards and hit with the handle. Not that I'll use it because I don't want it to fall apart. I have to be careful with it because the cats do like stringy things now and then.
Speaking of the cats....
I have an old pressboard dresser in the second bedroom. I've had it ever since I moved away from home and got my first apartment. It's bulky and kinda fugly and I keep meaning to get rid of it, but it's storage space, you know? I recently got rid of the boxes of old clothes I had on top of it, which annoyed the cats since they liked sitting up on the boxes. So I put down a couple of ratty pillows and draped an old bed spread over them and ta da! Instant cat bed! They love it. :)
Also, since when did the BPAL Trading Post carry socks from Sock Dream? While I like the BPAL logo, it's more the colors on that first pair that are calling to me. I might have to make them a Spring Training present to myself. Sock Dreams also has a black, white and orange pair but I like the size of the stripes on the BPAL ones more.
Okay, off to take care of some things
