The Coolest Shop

While my guy and I were visiting Cococa Village last month we stopped in Knit and Stitch Boutique, an amazing textile art shop with the most gorgeous yarns and textile art necessities. They also offer knitting and crochet classes, which makes me want to move to their wonderful town.

The ladies at the shop were so friendly and helpful; you feel like a regular the minute you walk inside. There are walls upon walls of yarn in the most beautiful colors, too.

Since I finished and delivered my latest project for the day job on time, and I successfully dealt with some other very challenging situations, I gave myself permission to buy whatever I wanted that day. Here's what I came home with; two of the skeins are from Juniper Moon Farms, the wonderful sheep farm that ran the CSA I used to belong to some years back.

The white bag is a crochet scarf kit, and the yarn for it is gorgeous. I highly recommend Knit and Stitches Boutique as an absolutely must stop in Cococa Village for anyone who loves yarn.

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.
