A Most Spectacular Day

When I'm feeling down in the dumps, I must always remember that a lovely day will follow. As if it wasn't enough that I had a spectacular time dyeing sock yarn with Roberta, and then received so many positive and constructive comments on the blog (thank you all!!), but then this came in the mailbag:


Not only did my Complex Cloth and RR buddy Marga send me her fabulous thermofax screen that she had used on my RR piece, but also some lovely handmade Almond & Kelp soap...handmade by Marga herself!

Oh, I wish that I could hyperlink to the lovely aroma of the soap!! Needless to say, I have put it in the bag with my latest hand dyed yarn! MMMMMM! Thank you Marga!

I picked up these books at the local library the other day:

Actually, ahem, C picked them up for me, I simply put them on hold on the computer! I am such a lucky girl to have such a willing and helpful man! I have been a Kaffe Fassett fan for many years, but this book is so dated that most of the pieces are actually coming back into style now! I like the Nancy Bush book and may have to get a copy of my very own. Kristin had talked about the Last Minute Knitted Gifts book last year, and so I was pleased to find it in our local library. There are many interesting projects in there, especially the Chevron Scarf that Kristin knit.

Here is the first layer in a complex cloth piece that I started yesterday........

wait for pics of more steps!

I love this week's cover on Time:


Oh yes: WE DID!!!!
