I'm giddy I tell you, just giddy.
Last week I took a little vacay to go visit my auntie abi (she is a very accomplished crocheter and the kind soul who taught me to crochet several years ago - I will always be indebted to her for that!)
So we had a lovely time shopping, chatting and eating. On Monday we ended up at AC Moore and - to my absolute shock and delight - found a huge, huge bin of Martha Stewart yarns on clearance, (plus an extra discount on top of that!) I have used both the Extra Soft Wool Blend and the Alpaca Blend yarns and LOVED them both, but they were really a bit pricey for big projects. Each time I found myself in Michaels I would eye them longingly but knew that buying anymore would be a splurge I couldn't justify.
So imagine my delight when I saw a whole bin of the stuff. I ended up buying about 20 skeins of the Extra Soft Wool Blend, and six (yes, I did use *some* self-control!) of the Alpaca Blend. They are both such wonderful yarns I can't wait to use them.
Exciting, yes?
My auntie lives in a very nice community in Fort Myers with a nature preserve and wonderful little butterfly garden. I took a couple of long walks while I was there, and spent some time in the garden, thinking, relaxing, and watching for butterflies.

And of course... palm trees!
