Retail Therapy Required!!!

Today I am profoundly sad. We were expecting a phone call which will not take place. I cannot give really any details about it, but suffice it to say it has left me in a funk.

Well, when I am feeling down, like any normal gal retail therapy is the best medicine. But, ho, I have no money for the retail therapy so I figured I would do some window shopping. ***note...these would be excellent gift choices for Christmas for me (subtle hint hint)***

Okay, the first is a gift certificate from Hello Yarn. She will send "a paper certificate, some little treats, and a sample of yarn to get your friend very excited about your gift". She hand-dyes all her yarn and spins it herself. I have been admiring her products for awhile now and would love to get my hand on some of her yarn. I have also been developing a renewed interest in learning to spin my own yarn, and so she has lots of spinning kits that look interesting. I recently spoke with a lady here in Thunder Bay who is part of the weavers and spinners guild and if you have a membership, you can rent one of their wheels for $5.00/month or something ridiculous like that! So that would be something that has caught my interest lately.

Some other sock yarn I have been checking out is available from Blue Moon Fibre Arts. They have a brand of sock yarn called Socks That Rock. I've signed up for their Rockin' Sock Club 2007. It starts in January/February. Over the 2007 year you get 6 sock kits with all sorts of goodies. I am rather excited about this.

Hmmmmm...what else? Well, I am always up for a good book. I'll have to post my wish list.

Oops...gotta go pick up Madeline from school. I'll write more later. Y'know, after that on-line window shopping, I'm feeling a bit better. TTFN
