First thing this morning a van pulled into my driveway followed by a knock at my door. This knock caused my crazy dog to bark madly and continuously bounce against the front door. I am quite a grumpy person in the mornings, and I really enjoy the quiet that comes along with it, so of course, this irritated the heck out of me. Also, this postman arrived way too early to even let me have the chance to get decently dressed. So alas, I opened the door, wearing my wonderfully colorful teddy bear pajamas and let my dog loose.
To my surprise, I had 3 huge boxes. Did I say huge? I meant HUGE boxes for me today.
One containing my new precious toy. A Lendrum DT. Now, I have no idea how to spin on a wheel yet, but she sure is pretty. I have named her Mary. She was made by a Canadian (Gord Lendrum) in his workshop out of gorgeous solid maple. Maple is one of my favorite woods, so of course it was love at first sight. Will it be love at first spin? We will have to see.......
The next 2 boxes that were unloaded from the van was my first order of Mission Falls 1824 wool. Oh my god! This yarn is soooooo nice. It is made from 100% merino superwash and the colors are to dye (pardon the pun) for! I immediately set to opening the boxes right then and there on my couch. It took all the strength I had not to squeel and jump onto this luscious pile of fiber goodness and crazily roll in it with glee. 
I will be adding this new fiber order to my website soon. I have decided to change web hosts, so I can have a more convenient shopping cart that keeps track of my inventory. It also allows repeat offenders, I mean, customers, to sign in using a username and password. If anyone is interested in purchasing any of this wonderful fiber from me, please visit my website and contact me via email. I can easily set up an order for you! www.solstitch.net |
