yarn adventures.

yikes i have a lot of new yarn to share. but for now, you are going to get a brief update. basically, my week has been all about stash enhancement and spending lots of time with my old co-workers (socially). today was one of the biggest lys sales so that was a shopping spree! but i also finally made it to bainbridge island to visit one of the lys there. it is a popular little shop (churchmouse yarn and tea) that i hadn't made it to yet. my friend and i took the ferry over on tuesday and really enjoyed ourselves. it was beautiful out! after picking up a few little goodies for myself, we ate ice cream in the sunshine, ahhhh.



some koigu (i apparently didn't have enough in my stash according to stacey, thanks for enabling!) and some other really funky yarn that was calling to me (i have no idea what it will be!!).

now, my yarn is getting a little out of control so new furniture had to be purchased for storage (oh yeah, and that is a new handbag too!)



an ottoman with storage. you can't beat that. it was quickly filled to the brim.



however, with today's purchases at the big sale, there is no way that one container is going to do it (ok, so it didn't all fit BEFORE i went shopping today anyways).

now, i have a lot of yarn from today to share but that will have to wait. along with a book meme i got tagged for (i feel the need to share the trashy novels i read). oh yeah, and tomorrow i have an interview. keep your fingers crossed for me. i SO need a real job so that i quit spending my days travelling in search of yarn (ahh who am i kidding, i want this life forever!). but seriously, this job has some major potential. and new job = new condo (in the next year or so). so maybe things will have a way of smoothing themselves out by the time i turn 30 afterall!

p.s. i apologize for the excessive use of the exclamation point in this entry, but this has just been a really, really good week and i am so darn full of exclamations!!

All the best for your interview. I'm crossing fingers & toes. Have you heard about the HUGE sale starting on 5/13 at Great Yarns? I have the day off & am hitting it as soon as they open.

Cheers!

Ah, stash enhancements, you gotta love 'em. And when they involve buying new furniture, even better. That ottoman looks great!

Good luck with the interview!

Hey Amy! 'Tis the season for stash enhancement! Where'd you get that ottoman? I could use something like that...

I hope your interview went well Amy! What type of job are you in search of? I have an interview on Monday morning for a job in NYC...right across the river from where I live now (in Hoboken NJ). Wish me luck too :)
