In the Mail

Mia and I got 71 pounds of beautiful dyed wool, mohair and angora off to the mill today. I will get three runs back to sell at fall shows - red, green and yellow blends. I love to open the boxes and see what they do with my fiber. It's very labor intensive but I do so enjoy the end results. What a scene we were, with the two of us taping together boxes and collating the bags on the floor of the shipping department. The sales people got a tickle out of us and gave us tape, etc. People stood around and stared - What is that stuff? they asked. This is where yarn comes from we replied. We treated ourselves to lunch at Panera, then went to Barnes and Noble for coffee and a look-see at the new magazines. Another stop at WM for soap making supplies and quick one at Michaels for button clay and we were on our way home. We were hoping for another swim but the rain started shortly after we pulled in. Doesn't look good for the market tomorrow. Very disappointed but nothing we can do about the weather...
