What's new

The next few weeks are going to be busy for me. With Rosh Hashana & Yom Kipper (the Jewish Holidays)starting this week. We have two orders for stores to fill. Both before the 9th of Oct.when I leave for my niece's wedding in California. Then we have a show the very next day, after I get back,in Southern Indiana. The following weekend we have a show in Michigan. I need to do all the yarn dying before I leave on my trip. I should be busy. I need to start cooking for the holidays ASAP. Fun times for busy people in my world.

The cuties spent 3 days with us recently. So I thought I'd post pics from that weekend.

I am up early this morning with a goal in mind. Getting some pics on this blog. My computer was acting up so I couldn't get pics up. My computer go to person came by and cleaned up my mess. (Thanks Becca) so now I am going to try it again.


I thought I would start with one of "The Dude" to brighten everyone's day!


This is one of the falls in Great Falls Montana.


This is "The Gates of the Rocky Mountains" just outside Helena, Montana. I am not sure which is more beautiful, this place or the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. I'll post those pictures later.


I couldn't leave without a pic of "Miss Mimm". Here she is playing soccer in my hallway.

A friend reminded my that I ,once again, have not been posting to this blog. I must hang my head in shame. I have been lax about posting. If you have given up on me, I understand.

As you know I went on a trip "out west". I saw lots of wonderful things and enjoyed myself. I reconnected with an old friend and a cousin. I sold our yarn to 3 different shops in 3 wonderful cities, The Dalles; Oregon, Helena; Montana and Great Falls; Montana. We also bought lots of goodies for the grand children. Miss Mim now is the proud owner of pink cowgirl boots. The "Dude"s cowboy boots are black with red stitching.

When I got home I had one week to dye all the yarn to fill those orders.

After that it was time for Stitches Mid West. That is the biggest yarn conference in , you guessed it, the mid west. I took 2 classes, knitting backwards and design your own sweater. My daughter, a friend and I shopped the market to get ideas for our own knitting. (We bought all sorts of stuff) We also shopped for ideas to make of both at shows better.

From there we had the grand kids spend a 3 day weekend with us so their parents could get away for a few days.

And, I am dying yarn again for our next show later this month.

I have just spent the last 10 minutes trying to upload pictures. But, my computer will not cooperate. It may be a problem between the computer and the chair. LOL
My computer wizard will be here tomorrow so maybe after that.
