New Year, New Post (Finally)!

Received the itinerary today, and will be headed back across the pond February 8. I'm really excited because this time we will be moving into our apartment. While the Hotel is extremely nice, it will be nice not to have someone ringing the bell all day and the click of heels in the walls all around you day and night!

We have enjoyed being home to see all of our friends and family and to celebrate the Holidays with our Loved Ones. With the severe attack of jetlag, I really didn't do as much for Christmas as I would have liked to, but it was enjoyable just the same.

The sale that I decided on the spur of the moment to have went very well and the remainder of the yarn found a home with one of the organizers of the NoSo Knit and will be door prizes and goody bag fillers in September! I am always glad to contribute to those folks. Hubby and I, with a little help from friends, got everything out of the shop and the sign came down on New Years Eve. The key has been returned and that's that.

Now I just have to get ready to go again! Things that needed to be done around the house are first priority. Then I'll be packing again.

Sorry that my posts have been few and far between lately. Please keep coming back as one of my hopes this year is to post quite a bit more.

Take care all and a very very Happy 2009 to you!

Moving Right Along

Well things have certainly began to move very quickly for me! The big sale started at the shop today and was a huge success for the first day. My airline ticket is bought and the paperwork for the Visa is moving right along. Only things left to do-buy clothes, get last hepatitis shot and whatever other shots the CDC is pushing now for Asian travel, passport photo (UGH!!! who ever has a good passport photo!), absentee vote, pack, decide what knitting is going for a 6 week stay, and and I'm sure there will be more. Phew, that was a long sentence!

Leaving November 4th and will be back December 19th to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Don't know exactly when in January we will go back but will post when I know for sure.

We will have to find yet another apartment and decorate again (boy isn't that just awful to get to pick out furnishings and spend someone else's money doing it?). And I will finally get to see Elaine, Horace, and Victoria who some may know I was honored to be allowed to name. I haven't been able to see them since last July and am very excited about it!

I've been to China with hubby twice and I do like it. It is just like anything else in life, you have to adjust a little. But I am glad that we will be able to be together as the looooong times apart are very hard.

I feel like I have been the luckiest person alive to have had so many fantastic people come into my life and I cherish them all.

So here's to the next phase of life!

Love And Another Day!

The wedding was beautiful! This is my neice, Jessica, on her wedding day.

It's been a hectic week and a half and I'm glad to be getting back to a measure of normalcy. The Eastern Shore was very relaxing, the seafood awesome!!! I will not get on the scales at this time.

It's been good to get back to my little shop and make plans for a big happening. The 20th - 22nd of June is for a sale here at Knitters Knook! All in stock merchandise is going to be 40% off and that is a huge savings to everyone!!

I've been looking and making plans for the new fall inventory and I am very excited about the chance to bring new and luscious fibers to my knitting and crocheting family!

Look forward to seeing everyone those 3 days and hope to make plenty of room for more!

No I haven't forgotten to post pictures of Swan Lake, I still have to download them from the camera. Promise I will post them soon. There is a lot of catching up to do. I must try to update all my projects on Ravelry as well.

Have a great few days and I will catch up with you all soon!
