Good Day

I'm so excited for Urban craft loft! Bend, OR, Gossamer, a great local yarn store. I've never been before but I guess there will be lots of handmade gifts and fun stuff AND eco friendly wrapping station. I don't really mind if my wrapping is eco friendly or not but I've found that the design of lots of eco friendly stuff is very appealing to me. :)

So Chris and I went on a date last night! SO Fun. We went to China Sun buffet. Buffets, I've learned, are the anti-weight watcher. I'm only taking a little bit of each thing. On each plate. Three times. I'm scared to weigh myself! Lol. Eh, that's life. I've lost 33 pounds so far, so I want to keep on keeping on, but not deprive myself. It's a balance.

After we went to China Sun, we went to Michael's. Chris patiently waited for an hour while while I shopped. This is what I got:

The blue yarn and double pointed needles are so I can learn to make socks. The red yarn in the right top is for my mom's christmas gift. I haven't figured out what I'm making her yet but I thought of her when I saw that yarn.

The 2 reddish Patons yarns on the left bottom are wool for myself. I'm not sure what I'll make, maybe a scarf. Some beautiful damask ribbon and stitch markers. The purple yarn on the right is for a gift for my dear friend, Jessica. It's a short scarf that has a button to keep it around. The buttons on the bottom right are the ones I chose. One for my own scarf I made and the other for Jessica.

A very delightful haul, indeed.
