We're in! And working. More pics of the warehouse and showroom to follow. (The pics I want are on the home computer, of course.) Instead of 12 hour days we are now doing seven. Not that we can take it easy now. We still have a lot of stock to bring over but a little of everything is now here. But it does mean we can stop to eat lunch and actually not feel guilty for taking coffee breaks. Gotta go!

Just a quick post while I'm taking a rest from moving boxes from the basement to the front door of our house. The electrician arrived last night just as we were leaving to put up even better lighting than he had before. I'm anxious to see what it looks like today. Hopefully, we'll see some "color"!

I need to write down what I have been doing. If I don't I won't remember where I've been or what I've done. There will be no pics because at this time the camera stays in the house and will be operated here or at the warehouse. That's until the kids get their own. At the beginning of the month of August B and I drove to Regina for the yearly conference. If you don't know what Hebrews 1 and 2 are about I suggest you listen here . It is unbelievable what is in store for us. A week or so after we got back I hopped a plane (or two ) to California. You all know about that trip. I just sat and knit and it was so relaxing. I would do it again in a heart beat. We were able to go out to dinner several times, eat See's candy and even lose weight doing it! Less than a week later B and I and the girls drove to Denver for their annual conference. If you don't know what "abiding in the vine" is I suggest you listen to the tapes of the reading meetings fro...

My August project is done. A matching pair - identical twins, actually. More often than not socks made with variegated yarn end up being fraternal twins. That's because it's hard to figure out where in the skein to start the second sock. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why there are so many SSSs . (Second Sock Syndrome). Even though they're not " peridot " through and through I think you can see a little of that color in the middle. September's stone, sapphire brought a dilemma. I wanted to start the misty mountain shawl but have other projects to finish. If I couldn't find a "sapphire" unfinished project I would start the shawl. Sure enough, I have an unfinished pair of socks - one sock to be exact, in that bright sapphire blue color suffering from SSS without the excuse of variegated yarn. And to tell the truth, I probably have unfinished projects in all the colors of the rainbow, if not the birthstone colors! So my aim is to finish unfin...
