New Format....

I need a little more structure in my personal life. Starting here. I love my blog, but it wouldn't know it because I've ignored it so horribly the past few months. So this past week I've been thinking about restructuring the content to give it more life and variety... Don't worry though, I know every once in a while you'll get a post where I go off on a tangent.

It's early Sunday morning now, both dogs having woken me up ridiculously early on a Sunday are both sound asleep again in their respective living room beds, while I'm not away slugging back coffee and sorting thru the 357 million pictures I took of the PNW Yarn Crawl yesterday that Mary and I did from America's Knitting!

I have my favorite shops of course.
All the shops we visited were great.
There is a new one in Puyallup (pronounced: Pew-Al-Up)
Called My Yarn Heaven. What a great little shop. Excellent selection of yarn. Beautiful spaces to wander. Excellent natural light so you can see what the yarn color clearly is...
Bo, rescued last year looking so amazing this year
We went to Firwood Farms and spent some time with the alpaca's.
One who was rescued last year, and was very skittish and his fur was long and matted and he was so skinny, looked so amazing this year. He's been very well cared for and actually came to the fence and ate from my hand. Plus he's had a haircut and looks quite handsome.

Then there was Bandit and he loved my camera and the camera loves him...

Anyway, it was a full full day that started at 7:00 a.m. when I boarded the ferry to Kingston all the way till 7:00 pm when I boarded the return ferry home.

Happy Sunday

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Happy Birthday Mom!

I know I know, I'm a couple days early but I wanted to make sure you saw it before you sailed off to the deep blue sea... Literally. I've been thinking for a few days on what I would write for you on your birthday. How to best express just how amazing you are and how amazing it is that I got you for my mom. You've given me so much in my life that I am grateful for, that to try and put it into words would take a lifetime. I love the time we spend together. I love the way we laugh together. We've come so far and our adventures aren't over yet. I love you mom. Happy Birthday

I could have used another week...

Last week was wonderful... D and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to spend time with Mom and G as well as attend some Cactus League Spring Training Baseball. The weather was amazing (after Sunday and Monday's rain storms) High 80's the rest of the week, and sun sun sun and more sun... Waking up in the morning and being able to lounge on the patio with my coffee. Wearing shorts for a week... and finally... Finally I got to see a cactus bloom! We always come to early in the season for it and it bums me out, but not this time...Nope, this time I got to see it. And it was wonderful more pictures to come as well as a 'Favorite Things' post on what I love to do when I am there...
