Sorry for the long time no blog post. I think I’ve had a case of the wintertime blahs. They always seem to strike right about the end of February.
To end these doldrums some retail therapy was in order. As you can see lots of bright pinks and green and spring time colors.
A new Avi Wasserman [...]

So I had a really good birthday and thought I would share a bit of my loot with you.
First off a new Cross pen – it’s giraffe motif. Fine nib and really an extra fine. There was also ink involved.
More gifts from my hubby – who spoils me. That’s a leather 4-case pen holder with [...]

I’ve been thinking all day about where to start…it was a whirlwind trip and we did so many great things.
So I headed out on Wednesday to Julie’s and the fun began right away. We headed to Concord, MA where we went to the Orchard House. This was the house where Little Women was written by [...]

This weekend we had not one but two shows around here. Friday we went to the WI Sheep and Wool. I got lots of great goodies and had a great time.
I brought this great yarn. The picture does not do the color justice. I can’t wait to wind it and make it into something gorgeous.
This [...]

It didn’t make the book due to there not being [...]

Today was the very lovely mohair festival. This little festival just makes a nice day out. There are two nearby yarn shops that just is icing on the cake.
One of the lady’s always has a very hard to resist sock yarn selection and I found myself adding to the stash today. What do they say? [...]

Could it be possible that yarn is involved in the law of attraction? I was starting to think I want to knit an Aran sweater, but I didn’t necessarily want to spin the yarn. I was thinking I needed a yarn fix, but couldn’t really find a color or price I liked. The only thing [...]

I had such a fun time this weekend. Like I said this year has been a roller coaster. One minute I’m all woe and the next minute I’m having a blast.
Friday night I went to the pizza party and the talk with Nancy Bush. This was awesome and we all got to fondle socks from [...]

So today started off early as both DH and I got up and got going to head out to The Fold for the annual sale. Dawn and I wanted to be first one’s in and hurry up to get our purchases done and get out. If you haven’t been there for the sale it’s total [...]

Yeah! I’ve had a whirlwind two days already of celebrating my birthday and it’s been great. Actually it started Thursday night when DH gave me my first gift – a iPod Touch. Totally spoiling me of course.
Friday I headed out with Beverly, Vera and Dawn. Dawn and I share the same birthday. Happy Birthday Dawn! [...]
