A not-so-local "Local Yarn Shop"

Yesterday I accompanied a girlfriend down to the big city.

On our way we made a detour and stopped at Creative U Studios in Santa Clarita.

I found this little shop to be well stocked with a good selection of yarn, needles, notions.

Additionally, the shop sells fabric and items for quilting.

The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Stop by the shop in person or check out their website where you can order items to be shipped to your destination.

This is a "local yarn shop" that I will definitely visit when I am in the area.

Roasted Pumpkin

I am the proud recipient of some gorgeous yarn!

I bought chances in a very worthwhile raffle a group in Ravelry was holding.

So many wonderful prizes were donated for the raffle.

I won what I call a Roasted Pumpkin Trifle (love my trifle dish and thought it a perfect display piece).

Three Skeins! ! ! !  Beautiful yarn from Periwinkle Sheep

The yarn is for knitting a beautiful shawl

Wonderful!

Today feels like the first day of the rest of my life!

I had a heavenly experience last night that I will savor forever.

Wonderful!

It's great to feel wonderful!

I have a full day ahead of me and for once I'm looking forward to seeing my accomplishments.

Since last post....

We have welcomed a new granddaughter into our family.

Emma  ~  she is so precious  ~  I had to good fortune to spend a month plus with her and her brother (they live in another state).  She is so tiny and at 3 1/2 months she is still tiny.  She's such a happy little girl.

Well, I have a door to paint...ta ta for now

Lovely Day

Today is a lovely day for me!

I woke for the first time in months with little pain.  That in itself makes for a lovely day in my world.


I know so many of my 'friends' don't understand what I go through on a daily basis.  And that is okay.  It's not for them to understand.  It's for me to live with.


On a lighter note...I am knitting when I am able.

I have a shawl on the needles, almost finished, that is beautiful.  I love the design and the yarn.  It's a special pattern designed by a special friend.

Also on the needles are two pairs of socks.  One is a test knit so I won't discuss that project.

The other socks are coming along just great.  The cuff and leg portion are taken from a pattern in a knitting magazine.  The heels are Cat Bordhi's Sweet Tomato Heel.  I love this heel and will use it again.  If you want more information on this heel you'll have to look her up.  She has a wonderful e-book out.

My energy level is dwindling so I'm off to recharge...

May God Bless You and Yours

Great Way To Start The Week...

...meet with friends and knit!

I am very thankful that even though I had just a couple hours of sleep I was able to get up and meet with friends at the local Barnes & Noble for some wonderful knitting time.

The sweater is really coming along nicely...perhaps I'll have a photo to post later this week.
