Here are the Earrings my mother gave to me as payment (payback?) after making me be inside a bead store for a lifetime (okay maybe not a LIFETIME per se but for one hundred eighty minutes of my life I’ll never recover from)…she made them - yay Mom!

Somebody Stop Me…

I used to have a problem with chef stores. I’d go in and within 20 minutes I’d have spent $100+ on crap I didn’t need and didn’t have room for. Then my bf realized this problem and I was forbidden to cross the threshold of any store selling Calphalon without an escort. I also have a shoe problem. I actually cannot wait for my daughter to leave for college so I can have her room for my shoes (ssshhhh….she doesn’t know). Roger has also learned of this issue and again, I am forbidden to cross the threshold of any shoe store without the express permission of himself and/or be in the presence of a non-shoe loving person. Apparently I have transferred my issue to yarn. I went to Webs with my friend Abi (from the Pittsfield Knitting Meetup Group) today. They are having their annual anniversary sale.

Webs Booty

You think that’s bad? Then I went to A.C. Moore. They had 25% off all yarn.

All the Booty

For those of you not in the know…there’s about $150+ worth of yarn in that photo. God help me I think I may need an intervention. You should see my stash of knitting magazines. On the up side, I actually have projects for each and every one of those skeins. At least, that’s what I’m telling Roger ;o)
