A Completely Lazy Day Off

Posted on: Thursday, January 31st, 2008 in: Uncategorized

Matt and I are holding true to our promise to take Thursdays off, and that’s a good thing. Wednesdays are typically a late day for us, as we prepare and send the weekly e-mail newsletter for the shop, the brunt of which falls on Matt as he handles it last (I write it, he [...]

Get The License of the (Yarn) Truck That Hit Us Today

Posted on: Tuesday, January 29th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

Good lawdy, today (Tuesday) was an amazing day for deliveries at the shop–we received massive shipments from three distributors, two larger shipments from two other distributors, and at least three other deliveries over the course of the day. They came by USPS, by FedEx, by UPS…..from all directions. Don’t let my carping fool [...]

Skipping Over Promises

I’ll post some photos from our trip last week in my next post, despite promising them when last we met here. They’re somewhere on Matt’s side of the laptop that we share, and I don’t have access to them right now. He’s off at an appointment and I’ll do a little TNNA recap [...]

Day 2–Mad Dash Day

Posted on: Sunday, January 13th, 2008 in: Uncategorized

It all started so innocently–Matt and I enjoying breakfast before going in for our private (pre-show) appointment with Takako from Habu Textiles, but then we were accosted over scrambled eggs and hash browns by another diner, also from Michigan. Lots of chatter and laughing, and we were back on track. Fun diversion, as [...]

Little Lost Lamb Returns

Between a non-working laptop (that’s still not configured like it was prior to the issues of December…) and this little thing called a “Holiday Season”, I’ve had my ass kicked when it comes to time. Toss in a few other tasks and self-imposed deadline (for an obligation I shouldn’t have taken on, but I’m [...]
