This means Lacey is the winner! Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your prize. Thank you to everyone who participated in this month's giveaway. Stay tuned for a more Christmas like giveaway next time.

In other happenings, yesterday was spent baking. Here are some fantastic pictures of what was in the oven. All were very tastey. That bread will be made again soon, too.

Shop Update & More...

The first of many things, who won!?
The winner of the September giveaway is ::drum roll:: Little Miss S. Congratulations!! I'll be sending you a message shortly. Thank you for participating, everyone! Next giveaway will be next month. (Hint: Christmas is coming sooner than you think.) Yeah it might be a bit early, but have you ever seen a sheep dressed up as a pumpkin? Hmm...now this gives me pause. ::hamsters are turning the wheels in my head:: 

This past evening was the small shop update. I made the decision late in the game because of another doctor appointment and the events that followed. (Pinched nerve in my neck and back area required xrays. Groceries needed to be bought as well as prescription pick up.)

In addition to the shop update, I've started a destash on Ravelry. There are some of my hand painted braids that didn't quite turn out the way I planned there as well as other dyers.

Oh, almost forgot to mention the sale going on at the shop. From now until 23:59 CDT on Sept. 23rd, there will be a roving and yarn sale. Buy one get the second half off on all roving. All yarn is 15% off.

This week I will be working on artwork for Peter's, my fiance's, shop called Storm Dragon Creations. He changed it, but I think it works out nicely. He'll be selling his own unique brand of stitch markers, row counters and jewelry. Be sure to read his item descriptions as they will be full of funnies, I'm sure.

Ecology & Me (part 2) will be coming very quickly. Thursday of this week, I will be joining a group of people in town to collect some Ratibida pinnata (Yellow cone flower) seed. My goal is to have some pictures taken during our lunch break for all of you to see.

Until then, have a wonderful weekend!

Sharing is caring

First, the winners of the last giveaway are mamatwitch and sillylittleladysspotontheweb. I was feeling very generous yesterday, and decided to give them both the giveaway. The next giveaway will be sometime this week. I'm waiting for the last parts of it to arrive in the mail. After that the giveaways are pretty much raring to go. October and November giveaways are going to be fantastic! I don't dare wait until December because it may be to late to ship for the holidays.

Secondly, here are two things that I want to share. They are little helpers that will bring you smiles on a cloudy day.

The first was given to me by an elderly man on one of my fifteen minute breaks. It's one of the most truest poems. Maybe I looked like I needed a hug that day.
The second was from my PartyLite Unit Leader, Michele Christidis. Michele was trying to motivate us to do what we've got to do to accomplish our show goals. These two beauties are hanging up on a cork board in my workspace area along with all the other nice notes from others. The images above are downloadable jpeg files for easy printing and posting. I hope that they lighten your day and inspire you to do what's needed to reach your hopes and dreams. Make a plan and follow through.
