Zoe's Zara Chevron Skirt - Zoe made her mommy happy last week and wore the skirt I made her this past fall. She was the hit of the birthday party! We just got our
Zara colors filled in - so come check them out. It also looks great in cotton classic! If I ever finish my
Mondrian dress for her I want to make her another one of these skirts - just in cotton.
Well, we saw some great new yarns for the fall last week from Tahki Stacy Charles. Despite wanting to buy very conservatively, Julie and I may have gotten a bit carried away. They had some beautiful new yarns, very soft.
Stacy Charles, Karma, is a beautiful wool/angora blend. They had it last year - but it will be new for us. It is super soft, knits on a fairly large needle but is light and airy feeling. And Teva Durham has a great new yarn called Granite. It is a very soft merino wool and nylon that knits on a #13 needle but again is not at all dense. We also got some
Zarina print and zara in new multi colors.
I think we are off to a good start. We see Jay on Thursday. He has Sublime, and Debbie Bliss.
I spent the majority of yesterday doing more planting on my roof deck and various other decks. It was exhausting - but I must say - it looks wonderful! I took the advice of one of our customers and planted all marigolds on the roof in the window boxes - it looks very fresh. Maybe if this yarn thing doesn't work out she can give me a job as a landscaper! Take a look:
Now some close ups:
marigolds
daisies
Also, yesterday I went to Max's class publishing party. They published poems that they'd been working on. Because what mother doesn't think that their kid is a genius - I'll share his poems with you:
AQUA BLUE IN THE AIR
Aqua Blue is every fabulous sea floating up and down.
Coming on the shore,Singing it's sweet tune:
Woosh,
Woosh,
Woosh!
Aqua blue's smell is so charming
it fills the air
with brightness shimmering in the sunlight so bright.
WRITE, WRITE
Write write, write.
Fast as you can
You can't catch me
I'm the little writing paper man!
The pencil chased the writing paper all the way to a lake
The paper jumped in
And got all soggy
Pretty impressive for a first grader, huh?
