Ahh, seventy degrees is so nice and cozy!

At least I think it's 70 degrees in here... I'm not quite sure how to read this fancy device. FRI doesn't sound like a temperature, it's probably not 923 degrees, 2 divided by 5 divided by 10 doesn't make any sense, I don't see any clouds with snow on the ceiling, and I know it's not 1!

I mean it's probably 1 outside, you know, in the mailbox. With the bills and junk mail.

BaaAAaa!! Just picking on my Alaskan friends. There was a little delay in making it out of the mailbox - I was starting to get worried that my envelope had been lost somewhere. Then I was rescued and we all had a wonderful time!

Don't worry, I'm a hearty sheep. In fact, the cold doesn't bother me at all! As you can see I was even working on my tan. By the window. Inside. Hey, it was a little cooler by the window.

More on my amazing trip to Alaska including a brief chat with Santa and a little "cat-nip" on my head tomorrow!

Tahki Presto

NEW!  Dizzy could not pass this yarn up - it is drop your chocolate dipped clover gorgeous.  Extremely soft (you would never believe there was any mohair of any kind in this yarn - not even the tiny 3% that it states on the label).  Tahki describes it as a rustic multicolor thick-and-thin wool blend yarn that creates contrasts of color and texture.  It is made up of two strands: a thick wooly one and a thinner shiny one.  Trust the sheep - you won't want to miss out on being one of the first to enjoy this new yarn - and at a great Dizzy Deal price!
