The big event this weekend was that my sister’s package arrived. Stephanie took a trip to the Wollmeise shop in Pfaffenhofen earlier this year and, for a lack of a better word, went nuts, buying lots and lots of this wonderful yarn for the both of us. Now, my share of the loot has arrived in my loving arms, along with a few balls of insanely soft Sirdar Snuggly Snowflake yarn (which I just want to cuddle), a painting by my niece, and a few other goodies. I can’t wait to finish a few more of my current projects so I can cast on with some of this treasure – thank you, Stephanie!

In other news… we drove out to the farm stand on Saturday morning, but because Rob has another stand on Sundays which is closer to Phoenix and more convenient to reach, business was on the slow side. We closed up and had lunch at Tony’s in celebration of my birthday, which is always a treat. On Sunday morning we picked up Rainy and Joe for a drive out to East Mesa to see Avatar in 3D Imax, which was awesome. After lunch at Little Rangoon we returned home where I did some more carding and knitting, too.
