Episode 68 Holiday Mondays throw me off...

Download this episode (30 min)   
My birthday was GREAT. We went to a lot of places that I don’t get to go to very often. We went to White Rock Weaving, the Shabby Sheep. Later we stopped and had the best cupcakes at Sprinkles. We had dinner at Zambrano Wines in Fort Worth.
It was a wonderful day!

My knitting speed is back up! I am so glad!

I got some fiber (wonderful Butterfly Bits) for SPINNING from Butterfly Girl.
