Craft Day
I went to write a note today and noticed that my "stock" was getting low. Here is the first set of cards I threw together today. Also, I found a bunch of pencils in the dollar been and I glued rhinestones to the top of each one for a small sparkle! Hope you all are finding some time to be creative this weekend.

Just Knit it
I went to my mail box the other day and inside was 2 new magazines. (I love magazines!) I got the Spring Garnet Hill and the Spring Interweave Knits. Obviously one is a knitting magazine and the other is a clothing magazine. I found it so astonishing that Iwas drawn to an Alpaca Sweater in G.H for $178.00. The sweater is so plush and luxurious. I could never afford it but then again, I just might....
As I was looking through my Interweave Knits magazine, there was a première sweater pattern for the exact sweater in G.H.! Not only can I make it myself and tell others that I made it, I can pay a fraction of the cost and be on the cutting edge of fashion.
By the way, Knit Picks just came out with a new yarn line, Aloft Mohair. It is a fraction of the cost of traditional mohair and they have some fabulous colors to choose from. So the next time you see me, I might be adorned in a fashionable new look. Then again knowing me, I might just have it on with jeans!

Cookies or Bread?
I was at Big lots today and scored a tub of "Antioxidant Chocolate Blend" at 20% off. (not bad for $4.00)
It contains whole almonds, sliced almonds, dried cranberry, dried elderberry's and dark chocolate chunks. YUM!!! Did I mention that it was a full pound tub, great deal. I am thinking of either eating it by the hand full, baking it into cookies or even possible baking it into bread. Either way, I will let you know how it turns out. Hope you all are having a great Sunday afternoon, stay dry.
