Number....!@#$%^%&*

No, we did not get tickets, but am glad to know(via the web) someone who did!

Good news, I have been waiting two years to teach folk art painting at my local Joann's and I am finally in!!!! I just got done teaching part two of a three part series on quilting! I just finished teaching a reupholstery class! I am SOOOO feeling good about finally getting in to teaching quilting and painiting this semester!!!!

I put in a huge lace order to Knit Picks for Gossamer, Shadow, Alpaca Cloud, and Shimmer! 18 balls of yarn for $48+something!!!! It came Saturday, now the winding begins!

Saturday I helped my girlfriend break down her dichroic jewelry display at my church's craft fair and I purchased some lovely things, a necklace, book mark, cellphone charm! I will have to show and tell more about these items!

See, I went shopping at Colorful Yarns. I broke down and bought yarn for Lady Eleanor! I have been researching for this for a couple of years! I believe I found something very tasteful and light weight- Jojoland Harmony in HC06!!!!! I chose the dark color due to practicality!

Ariel posted on Denver Downtown SnB Yahoo Group about yarn that glows!

I am so glad the Rockies won the NBL Pennant! Did I tell you I lived 40 miles out our Boston for a few years? I had the most wonderful job running a mega SoFro Fabrics! It was one of the best jobs I have ever had! I did become attached to the Red Sox, so I can't be sad about them winning the World Series, but I am sad the Rockies lost! The games really stressed me out for some reason! It was like watching a scary suspense movie for me! I am trying to relax now and come back to ground!

Over the edge without a camera

Alot of my flowers did not get documented as I desired, but I am getting such good pictures, it has been so worth the wait!
This is my favorite flower - delphinium (Larkspur) in my favorite color! Behind them are the almost spent cherry colored peonies. Yep, they are hangin' their heads with great heaviness. I saw these peony cages, next year, maybe?

So not havin' a camera for over a week has been rather theraputic, but I was so jonesin' for one! I was able to complete two pair of socks and a crocheted necklace! Phew, the Jaywalkers, by Grumperina have been started over 6 times, I really lost count. The main reason is because of the way I read patterns. Grumperina says to continue pattern, and I was use to wording that says, "repeat last two rows!" Well, I should have known knitting anything lacey, you seem to always just knit a row between, duh! I guess it's the years of crochet that mess with me and especially with a ripple pattern, in crochet every row is the same! Opal's PRISMA is the yarn I purchased last summer at Colorful Yarns

Then I gladly, joyously introduce my own design, "The Larkspur Hikers" I will name them. I love a tall sock, no skimpy short socks for me! Many patterns and edges, and techniques inspired this design, and I have to give credit to the yarn, Trekking 166! I purchased the yarn at The Lamb Shoppe.

Then there is the Uffizi in Berroco's Boho yarn which I bought at 15% off this month at Knitting Habitat. I crocheted it Sunday and wore to the 5@5(fifth service at 5pm) church service. I immediately received a compliment as I have every where I wore the the thing - Safeway, Walmart, ....I didn't think it would be such a big deal. You know, compliments are hard to come by these days!

So I am having a blast with the 10X zoom and even thougth this camera doe not have the stabliztion feature the other one did (that's why its is so much cheaper than others) I love it! I really, really love it. I can still get the nice detail of my stitches and flowers!
