Another Pair of Socks??!!

That is what my family says now on a regular basis....
have I gone too far?

May 2011

While away on  vacation in Florida on Sanibel Island, I toured the shops that I adore. One is Three Crafty Ladies. They have moved down Periwinkle Rd, but I have always managed to find them!

There is always something new to be found and I have a very hard time resisting! This time there was a beautiful top made of directional batiks that I had to have... another thing to pack... oh no. My suitcase is already very full!
Another shop that I visit is Geez Lewez. Both shops are a bike ride away and it is a good thing there is a large basket on the front of my bike!
This is a great needlework shop filled with interesting yarns and original needle work canvases.
I could spend days and days there! Look out retirement!

May 2011

So we have made the trek to Sanibel Island again! We had a good drive down and Rachel even survived the car ride. I think she caught up all her sleep from the year before. I can't believe how fast this first year has gone by. I feel like I have survived the year too. Ha ha.

Doggy Sweater

Poor Cessna got a hair cut and is cold! I got a pattern from Jody and I am going to start it today. The weather has finally turned nice... oh well she will need it for the fall and next year. And I need a  knitting project. I will make it in scrap wool because I am not sure she will leave it alone.
 So It turns out she likes it!!! And she is soooo cute!!
