Rockin Girl Blogger

Roxanne nominated me for Rockin Girl Blogger! What a cute idea. I'm honored. :)

So now it's my turn to nominate.

1. Knittin Mom (Chrissy)-Because I've actually met her in person and I love reading her blog and keeping up with her kids. She was very sweet to me when I went to Yarn Harlot last year and didn't know anyone.

2. Bulldog Knits- Also because she is local and I love looking at the baby stuff she is knitting right now.

3. Katrina- Because she is local too. :) Are you detecting a trend? And she has been very sweet to me. She was also my first etsy customer.

Presents!

I love getting presesnts. :) This week I got a great present from Roxanne of Zen Yarn Garden and Yarn Gift Bouquets. She rocks!!! I was her first customer and Zeb bought me yarn from her a year or so ago. If you haven't bought anything from her yet what are you waiting for. Her yarn is gourgeous and even better she is super, super, super nice. :) Anyway, she made me a yarn bouquet. You have to check those out for gifts. It was so cute. The yarn is called pinktiff! It's my own color. I love it. It's merino and seacell and is uber soft! Here is a pic.


It was a good mail week for me because I also got my movie swap pal package from Gina. We both were so behind on this and feel like awful swappers but we sent them out to each other at the same time even though it's like two months late. :)


I got some coffee, Breakfast at Tiffany's the book (super excited about this), Barefoot in the Park the movie (looks very good, can't wait to watch it), and Dream in Color sock yarn. I've been wanting to try this yarn for so long. I am so excited!!!!

Thank you so much to Roxanne and Gina. You girls rock!!

I'm Engaged!!!

So that guy that may or may not be taking time away from knitting and raverly proposed on Saturday!!!! His name is Zeb and I am so in love with him. And he asked me in a yarn shop!!! I am so excited!!!

Here is the happy couple at the store right after we got engaged.


Here is the side view of the ring.


Here is the top of the ring.

Of course we also did some yarn shopping. That morning I had given Zeb some yarn and needles because he has been wanting me to teach him to knit. So he bought some yarn for his "stash". I think it's cute that he has a stash and he hasn't even learned how to knit yet. I did let him know that there would have to be some ground rules on sharing my stash...the rule is I don't do it. :)

Here is the yarn Zeb bought for his stash, Brown Sheep Handpainted.


Panda Cotton for socks for me.


Malibrigo for matching hats :)
