Holidays Approaching

In a bit of a panic here. I found out last night my mom and sister Lynn are coming to stay for the weekend. The house is in one of those book deadline wrecks – I have no time to pick up – but I’ve got to shovel some stuff upstairs and out the door so that we don’t look like complete slobs. I’ve still got odds and ends of book stuff to do. Starting to feel overwhelming but there is no time for that. I’m also feeling the urge to purge my studio of stuff that is hanging around but that will have to wait a few weeks.

It’s time to put the winter boots away for another year – and boy do we have winter boots. All sizes, all weights, and all caked with manure. I’m stuffing them in a trash bag, putting a twist-tie on them and jamming them in a closet. Can’t wait to open that bag next fall.

I just took the last of the Christmas decorations down. I figured since we’re at the Easter celebration, I probably should stow away the last of the festive, glittery winter decorations. It’s time to look through the windows at some of the lovely color that is starting to happen outdoors.


Not a lot of time to photograph and post for a few days. I’ll leave you with this photo of new yarn colors hatching. It’s a photo I took last spring of Fall 2008’s new Julia colors. Have a great Easter and Passover everyone.
