All These Things

Tuesday, first day of the work week. I have thoroughly enjoyed the storms today, and the blanket of yellow and red leaves that are now covering my backyard. I went grocery shopping and bought lots of yummy things for salads, and breakfast, and pumpkin spice coffee with chocolate toffee creamer. For dinner I'm making a roasted portobello mushroom stuffed with spinach leaves, feta cheese, tomatoes and onions. Delicious! I plan on curling up in bed with some Grey's Anatomy, pumpkin spice coffee, and flannel PJs and hanging out tonight.

I have received confirmation on my grad school interview. November 1 @ 10:00 A.M. I am excited and nervous all at once. I have submitted half of my required materials. Still missing 2 reference letters, letter of intent, and GRE scores. Getting there slowly.

I bought a beautiful hand knitted beret today from a friend. Check this girl out!! We went to school together and she has really enhanced her work, and strived to create beautiful pieces with style, flare, and personality. Oh and they are ALL hand knitted, woven, and sewn! I can't wait to get my beret!!! I'm probably going to wear it everywhere!


Can't wait till I can get some overtime hours, and overtime pay, and some yarn! It has taken a while, but its a process, after buying the loom and some other equipment I had to give the bank account a break... But nights like tonight make me eager to get back on it! I also want to learn how to knit now ;)

Much love,

    Awwwwww!! Thanks! You're so sweet. I am so excited for you to get your beret. That color is gonna look great on you! :) I am so excited to see what you make on your loom. And also see all the yummy yarns you get!!

    I wish I could tell you where to find silk noil yarn but unfortunately I got it on closeout at Webs and they no longer carry it. :( you might check silk city or cotton clouds. I'm not super familiar with their stock but they tend to have more exotic fibers.

    Hurry up and weave! I know it's a process, I still can hardly afford to buy new yarn- I have to use what came with the loom, but eventually you'll get there and make beautiful work, just like JoAnna!

    .....guilty :) And yeah, mine came with a TON of yarn- most of unidentifiable fiber content, but that's ok, it still has significantly helped me get started.
