Bag Ladies and Yarn Addicts



I just have to say one thing...today, whew, what a day. One...fantastic...fiber...fest! To see some of my favorite customers, some even driving all the way from Roanoke to partake in Fiber goodness! What fun what fun! Yesterday, we had the pleasure of a visit from the Phylmeister. We all had Zeppoli's salads for lunch around the big wooden table, hoot'in and hollar'in, then we proceeded to caress yarn and fondle Suzanne knitting needles and kiss the cashmere, hug the Merinos, cuddle some Calmer. Out of the corner of my eye, I could have sworn that Debbie was french kissing the Jade Sapphire. Don't quote me on that!



Phyl got a new project (shock and awe), a little pink and green number for spring called Tahoe from Knitty...and a matching pink and green project bag to put it in...she also nabbed a Skull bag from the lovely Lawre O'Leary. That girl, Phyl...whew! What a bag lady extraordinaire. Psst, she might have a teensy weensy issue with shoes, too. I saw some needles in her purse, and I think she may shoot up, shhhhh...Who's throwing stones? Not I! (see photo above, her back seat, polite cough)



Phyl gave an entire bag of Debbie Bliss Cathay ( that wouldn't work for her) to Festering Head Case! Oh, such a love fest around here! Here, Bel is jumping up and down with glee!



Here sits pre-trip, pre-medicated Mimi (we miss you already!) focusing on cashmere and Ebony needles...trying to ignore the ciaos that has surrounded her...



All and all, life is good. And tomorrow another fiber freakazoid day, I'll tell ya all about it. But first a quick munch at Bookbinder's grille, probably the Salmon, a glass of Toasted Head shiraz and their Wedge of Iceburg with Blue cheese salad. Then, lights out. Exhaustion.



Thanks to everyone that made Mosaic's sale today a roaring success! Enjoy your new stash!
