When individual fibers are crocheted together with a thread of emotion, they become an original, personal design. This creative process is my joyful obsession

I have an addiction!!!

They say the first step in "recovery" is to admit you have an addiction!  I actually have two, and I'll admit it!  I am addicted to yarn and to pj's. Example: Yesterday, I had to run to Walmart to get a birthday present for Mark.  While there, I went to the yarn aisle to grab ONE skein of dark brown yarn.  I then, laid my eyes upon some awesome colors of Vanna's Choice, and my head began to spin.  "These yarns would make awesome slouch hats"  the conversation in my head was just beginning!  I grabbed these
Not just one skein of each... oohh noooo!  I had to have 2 of each!  Then I moved on to the Simply soft yarn... and just had to grab a few colors that I didn't have!  Oh my!  I walked out of walmart with 13 skeins of yarn!  Did I ever mention that I have 4 LARGE tubs in the basement full of yarn?  Well, I do! But, in my defense I didn't have any like what I bought. I am in love with this Vanna's choice though, especially this one
Oh, and this one too!  (hehe)


Then while leaving, I walked by the Valentine's Clearance!  Oh no Again!  They had pajama's for $5!!!  I LOVE pajamas!  I have more pajamas then I do clothes.  I know, that's sad!  But, I pretty much live in pajamas during the day and night.  (Oh the joy of being a stay at home wife!)  So, I just had to purchase 2 sets. 
There!!!!  I've admitted my addictions.  Whew, that was easy!

I received my first order off of my Facebook page!  Thank you Carolyn H!  For being the first to order Carolyn will receive a special surprise in her order when it ships.  For now, the "surprise" hat has been put on hold until I complete Carolyn's order.  (Customers come first!) 
Today I am running to Crafts 2000, to grab a couple of things of yarn for this order!  Yes, more yarn!!!  I told you I have an addiction!  Now to just try not to go overboard!  Because what did I see in their ad?  Vanna's Choice on sale!!  Hopefully, I can control myself!
