end of summer sale 2010

18 Aug 2010

I'm having a little clearance sale over at the Chopped Tomatoes Etsy Shop!

I have made the decision to dedicate separate collections to each of my yarn bases. Each base is unique, and takes the dyes differently, so to try and stock identical colours in each base is proving to be too difficult. Instead, I will be keeping the Rustic Tranquility Collection in Heavenly Infusion (85/15 Wool/Cashmere Laceweight), and the My Favorite Things Collection in Glock (80/10/10 Merino/Cashmere/Nylon Fingering Sock Weight). I am working on a new collection for the Pure Cashmere base, which I will be unveiling sometime next month.

For now, all Heavenly Infusion yarns in My Favorite Things are on sale (at only $10.40 per 50g skein), and all Glock yarns in Rustic Tranquility are on sale (at only $20 per 100g skein), over at the Etsy shop.

Outside my window... the sun is shining and everything looks beautiful.

I am thinking... about the vanilla fudge I made this morning. I haven't got much of a sweet tooth, but my fudge is 'simply the best..' (sing it Turner Style!). No really, I make excellent fudge, I'm sharing this batch with some friends tomorrow.I just really hope it sets alright, seeing that rain is expected later on in the day.

I am thankful for... Buca. I adore my little dog so much. He spent a good 15 minutes today trying to find a place to hide a treat I gave him; at the end, he just ate it and got it over and done with.

I discovered... that my nose is not meant to wear swimming nose clips. I purchased three different ones over the past year and none of them stay put. The only clips I have found to stay on my giant nose were a pair that I bought very cheaply from a resort shop a few years back, I wish I hadn't carelessly tossed them now. At the time, I didn't know I would have a problem finding a replacement.

Outside my window... the sky is grey and it's drizzling down with rain. I'm glad the temperature is relatively mild, I have propped the windows open because I love the smell of fresh, clean air.

I am thinking... about a brand new colourwork project I plan to cast on later on in the week. My first real attempt at fair isle knitting in the round, quite exciting!

I am thankful for... my wonderful friends. My stress levels have been quite high over the past few weeks and I would have had a meltdown without their yarny/foodie/TV-watching support!

I discovered... that Vanish Oxy works to remove stubborn tar stains on my white workspace. Isn't it great to find multi-tasking products? This magical clothes whitening powder made me a very happy woman this morning.
