2nd Anniversary Sale

Just want to let you know that the second anniversary sale for the shop is live. The sale runs through Oct. 31. Stock up on handspun yarn for knitted/hand crafted items as Christmas is not too far away. More yarn will be added after my kids craft corner this weekend. If you see any yarn that interest you on my photostream, do let me know and I can list it on Etsy for you.
Thank you for your patronage.

No pictures yet

Didn't get a chance to upload pictures from NYC. Last night was International Night at the kids school. We didn't go as M1 has a test this morning plus both of them have belt test later in the evening. Still going over the terms with them.

I'm not available for shipping this Friday or Saturday. Any purchase made during this time will be mailed on Monday. I've added more handspun yarn to the clearance section. Hope you find some goodies. Talk later. Ta ta.

Resting my knee

I did walk a lot around NYC on Wednesday:

1. Grand Central Station to 3rd Ave and back
2. Strand Bookstore
   
3. Around Washington Square Park
4. Back to the Consulate
5. from 43rd to Central Park , around & about the park
6. Around Flushing's Main St

My left knee started hurting on Thursday. I was hobbling around and I still want to visit the NY Metropolitan Museum of Arts. While I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, I had to take pain meds in order to continue with my visit. Long story short, I could barely walked to the baggage claim area after getting off the plane. The pain was excruciating and I felt something clicking in my knee. I have no idea what I did to my poor knee.

After 2 days of ice or hot water bottle, it seems to have healed up a bit. The knee is still stiff and stings with it's at a certain angle. I'm staying off spinning till it's better. I'll still be adding yarn to Etsy. Talk later.

P/S - I'll post some pictures later.

Aidil Fitri

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri kepada semua kawan saya di Malaysia. Pandu cermat bila balik kampung. Makan banyak kuih-muih. Kalau boleh kirim sikit kuih-muih ke sini :) .

I'm back

Arrived back home late last night. The plane was queued on the tarmac for an hour. It's a lot shorter that what others had gone through. The weather was great on Wednesday but outright nippy on Thursday. I don't think the temp went above 60. I didn't realize I captured 300 image files in 2 days. I'll go through them and post them.

This weekend is A Wool Gathering. It's located at Young's Dairy. It will be a fun weekend as there will be fibery goodies, miniature golf and ice cream. I'll be busy prepping the kids karate terms fo theri test and catching up on chores. Will pop in later. See ya. Ta ta.

P/S - Didn't get a chance to knit on my socks. Busy taking photographs, browsing and eating.
