Yarn Pop has great totes
I find it a great deal of fun when blogs I enjoy have contests. You’ve probably seen them.” Leave a comment, and we will use a random number generator to pick one of you to get this cool stuff”. I always leave kind words. I have never gotten anything. This morning, however, was different. Lori from Yarn Pop gave me a very wonderful message. “Your comment number was chosen using random.org and you are the winner of the Yarn Pop pack! I am so excited!

Getting Stuff Done
This has been a great weekend for getting things finished, organized, and prioritized. It feels great. Two of the items have photos to share.

I may just make it!
I completed the knitting and felting of the gifts I intended my Mother take to Norway months ago. I need to embroider them. Of course, that meant that I had to let them…age…a few months before finishing. Now that her flight is just a week away, perhaps I better get cracking. I will make it! I have eight more to embroider (very simply I might add) and then I need to add hangers to the whole set. They make me happy.
