John & Kim and I all got home about half an hour ago. They had a great time. And I got a lot of much needed rest. I went to Hobby Lobby this afternoon and got a book specifically for needle tatting. I found a lot of the same directions online but the pictures are much clearer in the book. It came with 4 more needles and a threader, too. I used a 40% off coupon which brought the price down to where I felt it should be in the beginning. Then went to Michaels'. They had some yarn on clearance that is 50% soy and 50% acrylic. It is soooooo soft. I fell in love with it and bought enough in soft blue, soft pink, and off white to make at least 4 or 5 preemie blankets. Then I bought 11 skeins of Bernat Barella "4" in burgundy that was on clearance for $1/skein. Then I used another 40% off coupon and got the book "Secrets to Drawing Realistic Faces" by Carrie Stuart Parks. Essentially, everything ended up being on sale. I saved $20 just on the two books. I don't know how much I saved on the yarn, but I know it's normally 2-3 times what I paid for it (or more), so I feel pretty good about my afternoon's purchases.:D

 

Leslie, those patterns are gorgeous! I particularly like the one in the browns and beiges.

We've had some beautiful snow this evening...only about 2 inches. It's supposed to be 50 tomorrow, so it obviously won't stay around long.

 

Daphne ~ The 'Ville is great for getting ideas and seeing new patterns, isn't it? I've learned so much here. :yes

 

See you all tomorrow. :manyheart

Shelly, that is a lovely ATW. I did one for the local VA hospital and forgot to get a picture. Maybe, I should go over with a camera and ask if I can photograph it. ;)

Good morning, all. We're getting the rain that you had yesterday, Mary. Thanks for saving some for us. It started clouding up last night and I woke to rain just a little bit ago. Looks like it's been coming down for a while and will continue for a while. A nice steady, soaking rain.

 

I don't recall ever seeing the soy yarn before, but it's beautifully soft. If it works up half as nice as I think it will, it's going to be great fun to work with. It was $1/2.5 ounce skein on clearance. I may have to go back and get some more if they haven't sold out.

Good Morning, ladies. It's clear and sunny and all the snow is gone except in some flower beds. (My tulips are opening up!) It usually doesn't last long here.

 

Linda, I'm glad you're getting rain. :yes I haven't worked with the soy yarn, but sure have looked at it a lot - let us know what it's like!

 

Leslie ~ Another beautiful design! :yarn

 

Hi Cara. :manyheart

 

Today is Happy Housewife Day - my intentions are always good, anyway. :lol
