Pretty Yarn! A gift from Gracie. The pink is for the mitten project and the beautiful Heritage Mulberry Silk is for a scarf for me. Isn't she the sweetest? 
So here is quick post to let you know that I had a wonderful time with Gracie and her sister Carolyn this morning. They had a very long drive yesterday from Wyoming and ending at our house at almost 10:00 last night. We visited for awhile, but after almost 16 hours in the car, sleep was calling for them!Gracie and I had a nice long chat over tea this morning while Carolyn slept.
After a leisurely breakfast we loaded up their car and headed to Paradise Fibers for yarn therapy. I think it was a good decision.
Now I'm off to the lake. Have a lovely weekend my friends.
Blessings,
Betsy
The knitting area does look quite nice.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun for you to have such super duper visitors! It looks like a fabulous time in the big yarn store! Did you get to Hobby Lobby? I can't believe that they don't have one in Portland. Have fun at the lake and I can't wait to see you and Taci and Gracie for lunch! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful you got to meet and spend time together my dear firmed. It looks like the hobby lobby is just huuuuuge. It seems lime a very fun store. I am so glad you got to do something together... Wish I was there :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you both and Teresa :)
It's a wonderful thing to stay connected with wonderful blog friends. I met Val over the summer and we connected instantly -- as if we have known each other forever. So fun! Have fun at the lake. Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how this blog world of ours has produced such great friendships. Gracie is so sweet and I bet you just loved spending nice, lovely, time together with no hurries. I am sure they loved your yarn shop, it looks like a fantastic place to visit.

Wow! I've never seen a knitting supply store like that. That would be heaven to browse there and sit there too. In fact almost any fibre type craft store would be awesome. (Am visiting from Theresa's blog).
