18 May2012 LYS Tour

Yesterday was day one of the yarn crawl and I must say we crawled! I had so much fun with my friend Jennifer traveling around the north end of the tour. We started at Beach Basket Yarns in Birch Bay and found a nice surprise tucked in near the coast. Next, we were on to Bellingham where we stopped in at NW Handspun Yarns and Apple Yarns. I found a new spindle at the first and gorgeous colors at the second. Then we headed on down to Stanwood at stopped at Pinchknitter where I picked up all the hemp yarn for a trendy new sweater (!!). Finally, we trucked on home to our local stomping grounds and went to Knot Just Yarn in Burlington and, my favorite, Wildfibers .

Such yummy things to see and touch. Glad I saved up for this!

16 MariPad 3…the best thing EVER!

I have an illness. I am pretty sure I got it from my Grandma Carol. I HAVE to have the latest and greatest gadgets. I’ve wanted an iPad for quite some time but held off due to the price. Well, I just couldn’t hold off any longer.

I did not pre-order it although I regularly checked the blogs for the expected release date and once it was announced, I checked the apple site daily. As the time drew nearer, I noticed the delivery dates got farther and farther away. I began to get anxious. Yes, anxious. I knew this morning that I would have to go to the store and check it out. That’s when I made a deal with myself that if they still had any in stock when I got there, I’d buy it.

I have to say that I LOVE this thing. Money well spent and I know I will get a lot of enjoyment from it.
