Birthday Celebration

On Friday we had a surprise birthday party for the owner of With Ewe in Mind, Maureen. We each made her a 10x10 inch square that we were going to combine into an afghan. When she opened them she kept on saying "Oh, a dishcloth. How nice." It took her a little while to catch on. Greg was in Kansas City last week for training. I told him that I wanted a present while he was away, so he stopped in a local yarn shop and bought me some yarn! Look how good of a job he did:

Oh, and a shout out to doxietrek, who sent me the best package last week for the Guilty Pleasure/Good Karma Swap!

Penny ended up eating half of the Dark Chocolate bar with chili pepper in it. I was very upset. the Idiots are going to have to be retrained about getting food off the table and counters.

A whole lota shakin'

I am such a bad blogger. So much has gone on since my last post. I keep on meaning to blog, but always find other things to do whenever I have the time. First, I went to see the Yarn Harlot in on April 9th Nashville. Totally rocked!
Here's me in the crowd (picture is from her website).

I finally finished my Pomatomus socks. They are totally worth the effort.

I am also working on two other pairs of socks. Anastasia in Creatively Dyed and some basics in Regia. Anastasia is the first sock I've done toe-

We had an earthquake in the region this weekend. (Hence, the title of this post.) Both the initial tremor (at 4:37 am) and the aftershock (at 10:15) woke me up. DH was working that night so I had to call him to confirm. There was lots of excitement on the news. They're still talking about it.

I started a swap on Ravelry this weekend. It's called the sock yarn swap from your stash. I know it's a long title, but I couldn't think of a witty name and this was the most descriptive. It filled up (actually overfilled) within 24 hours. And I though nobody would want to join.

The reason it overfilled was because I went antiquing with friends in Hazel, KY. It was Marra's birthday and that's what she wanted to do. It was A LOT of fun. I got some good finds.
