I got mail

I got mail today! Good mail at that! Okay I knew about it yesterday, but now I have it in my little hands. I got another package from my Crochetville secret pal. I feel so lucky. In it was a bunch of stuff from Burts Bee's (I've heard so much about this stuff and I've wanted to try it), 2 balls of Lion Brand Suede in Ebony, a pattern for an open style mesh poncho and a nice note from her. I feel like somedays she lives inside my head, she seems to know me so well.

Tomorrow one of my co-workers and I are going shopping after work. I have so many people to shop for yarn for, my secret pal, and my two yarn swap partners. I might have to sneak a skien or two in for me.

Oh yeah, I have my first pattern aviable on my pattern blog now. If you would like to check it out you can follow this link http://crochetedmonkeypatterns.blogspot.com/2005/06/fulled-cellphone-caddy.html

That's about it for today.

My stash grew on the weekend

When I went down to my parents house for the weekend to think about the situation between me and Scott I found some yarn somehow ended up in my hands in Wal-Mart and and the thrift store. Okay the devil on my shoulder told me to buy more yarn that I didn't need when I only need one skien of Bernat Galaxy to finish a scarf. At Wal-Mart I ended up with a skien of Bernat Lulu in addition to the Galaxy. (I made coffee cozies for my Step-Mom and Step-sister with it and am going to make baby booties with the rest). At the thrift store I found a bag of black worsted weight (5 skiens) yarn for $2. I had to buy, the addicit in me wouldn't let me.

And tomorrow is payday and I'm going shopping for more 100% so I can make the Pikes Place Market Bag.

I don't want a cure for being addicated to yarn.

More floods...

I'm more worried a couple of hours after getting home and I'm more worried now. Part of High River has just been evacutated, and the news just said that they are evacutating the campground just across from my grandma's house in Black Diamond. And I think I see Noah's going by with a load full of wood with plans to build another ark. (lol)

Holy shit!

That where I was this weekend. My parents live in High River and when I left this morning the water was higher then it is in the pic. My grandmother also lives in the region and I'm more worried about here place because she backs onto a river. My step sister is going to find out if she can go and help. Unfortantly I can't, I have to go back to work tomorrow.
