Happy Summer Eveybody~ post from Kelli

 Found this amazing Madelinetosh dk, Mansfield garden party colored yarn, in an amazing yarn shop Paradise Fibers in Spokane Washington.  Owned and managed  by men, (I asked and found out 1 women, the shop owners wife does work there)...anywhoo, back to my point... I was thrift store shopping in my hometown and bought a oil painting, mostly for the romantic vision of the painting being a view of a French countryside,  It took me about a week to realize the colors in the yarn and painting are almost identical.

 Can you guess which one cost more? 


Can't help myself from throwing in this photo taken last night of my middle daughter M'lis and her sisters, on her 22nd birthday!  Yep that's a 4 layer chocolate chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting with chocolate shavings. Yep Costco!  Fun was had by all.


My Quill is coming along nicely, I did swap out a color, I'll post later~

      I do remember that project, fortunately or unfortunately there was only 1 skein in that dye lot, they had more in another dye lot but I didn't like the second dye lot nearly as much, interesting how that can be.

    Mansfield Garden Party... I have a skein in pashmina - and I'm afraid to use it. It's simply too beautiful...

      ...and a great voice came from above to say, be not afraid, ok maybe not in the same context? I do understand waiting for that perfect pattern 'worthy enough' of such a beauty~ love Pashmina AND MGP!

      We have a winner! You win a hug! Thanks Trudy. I'm thinking a pair of mittens or fingerless gloves?
