Hot Socks Swap Package

Look what arrived!














Shall we peek inside?
















Once, I must have done something very good. Karma is great.

The yarns are overwhelming, Cherry Hill, Fleece Artist, & Lorna. Teas from Adagio, SerendipiTea, & Stash. Caramel cookies, honey sticks & a tea bag rest. She even sent along some 'greenies' for my cat. But wait the finale is a pair of addiTurbos!!!

Kerry, thank you so much. I am very lucky to have gotten matched with such a thoughtful and gracious person

The flowers that brighten the fall - Tra La

Ever had a morning that lasted too long. From the commute to work onwards. Well this morning was endless in my opinion. I needed a treat. So to avoid the calories that linger, I went for flowers.

I went for an autumn colorway* with deep maroon dahlias and two sprays of orchids for some yellow heat. The rose was tossed in by the florist. Good people are out there. My co-worker Paul, seems to be having a slow start today as well.

I just got a email yesterday that my Hot Socks pal has already shipped off her package to me.
That is one very together lady. What a wonderful thing to look forward to - yarn & caffeine!

I am still inching along on my purple & gold socks. I think I will be avoiding using size 1 needles for awhile.

Have a good day - Libraryminion

Its Alive!!! (Maybe)

Where have I been? What happened to me?
Well it is a story involving books, computers, carpet and lack of motivation.

This last month my life centered around Project Carpet.
The library I am in charge of finally got new carpet. Which meant I got to acquire a lot of new job skills. From developing a pre-project organization plan, to a post movers clean up campaign. In between I tried to keep up with monthly paper work, book/film orders, renewing the majority of our periodicals, juggling staff schedules and yes, completely ignoring my poor little blog.

To show you some of the fun here are a few pictures of our Project Carpet.
Oh, as a side show we had our front door removed & then pushed back about 3 feet.










It was quite a project to get the whole library cleared, carpeted and than bring everything back in one week. I am very grateful for all the special people who work with me, and my family who just smiled and patted my head. The cat of course had no pity.

That is about all for now. I will have knitting news, including the Hot Sock Swap next time.
