This is the News.
Forgive the lack of eye candy - but I am having some technical difficulty at the moment- I post some pics as soon as I can! On to the News......
Secret Pal!
Oooooheeee! I got a neato completo package from my Secret Pal!!! Wow! She sent me a cute cute card with a little yorkie on the front! A tin of deelish peach tea! A little box of Godiva chocolates (!!!!)! And to top it all off..... a copy of Vintage Knits by Sarah Dallas! I am freaking out! And as they would say on the Knitty Coffeeshop - Freak me back in!
I can't believe it! My secret pal must have psychic powers or tiny cameras following me around at local bookstores to see what I drool over! Thanks Secret Pal!!
Pia Progress!
We are at 49.8% complete! Just finishing the left strap and the back is complete!! Then on to the front!! Whew! That went fast!! Maybe I will actually get this done in time for the last of the warm weather! Yeah! (I had secretly feared it would be finished the day AFTER the last day of warm weather.... you know how these things go!!! I have pleasantly surprised myself!)
The Box!
I received the Yarn Swap box and gave it a shiny new box to travel in style (and because the traveling stash was getting too big for it's original digs!!!) I snagged some cookie monster blue mohair/acrylic blend yarn for .... well, I don't know what! But it caught my eye and that was that! I tossed a bunch of suh-weet yarn in - I hope those of you swapping along will enjoy!!! Leftover skeins of shimmer, deco ribbon and cotton chenille to start things off! I love throwing good stash into swap boxes - because I know it will find a great home along the way! And goodness knows I don't have anything to use it for at the moment! :)
So, off it goes! See you at the next round, boxie!
My Kitchen!
It's yellow!!!! I painted it but good this weekend! Yay! Double and triple Yay! It looks so good that I can't possibly describe. We must wait for eye candy o share the joy that is my yellow kitchen. I love that feeling when you decide to do something you have been talking about forever and keep putting off because it is a thing that only you really care about so it never seems to take priority.......and then you do it. And it makes you feel as good as you thought it would!!! Sigh.
Why was it so important? Well, it was PINK. Yeah. Anyone who spends enough time in a kitchen will understand why I just could not handle that anymore.
Scissor Sqad!
We are up to 12 members, baby! YEAH! I am loving the chit chat on the Yahoo! group site so much - I can't wait for the first actual get together! It should be a blast.
We are thinking about organizing a field trip to NYC for craft shopping!! There is a Japanese bookstore we want to go to (and the tasty tasty Japanese sweet shop next door yummmmm!). I was thinking about maybe Purl? Does anyone know of any good craft shops in the city that we could check out? Cool bead shops? Other crafty places? My thinking cap is on......
If anyone out there would like to meet up with us, let me know!! Haven't come up with a date yet, but will keep you posted! ;)
Okay - that's the News. More at 11.

This is SO not going to help, but there's a fairly new bead shop that I passed by and I meant to go back...and for the life of me can't remember where it was. I know it was in the 20's, and on 7th OR on a side street between 6th and 7th, in the 20's. Are you completely confused yet? :) Maybe I'll go walking this week and figure out exactly where it is and report back. :)
