Almost Summer!!

It is almost summer here in Texas. The days are in the low 90s and the humidity is still on the high side. It is a good time to get organized or knit. In June, my friend and I will be taking a lace knitting class at a retreat. I will take pictures of the project when I finish.

I am getting ready to attend the UFDC Doll Convention in Las Vegas in July. It will be my first time at this convention and it is exciting! I hope to come home with a couple of new dolls, a couple of finished projects and many new friends. This trip will begin by visiting my doll friends in Tucson and Sierra Vista, AZ. Then we all go to Las Vegas (Bally Casino Hotel) for a week and more friend meet-ups. I finish off my trip in Phoenix with my oldest son for a few days. Yea! More about this when I get back.

Summer is also a good time to knit while sitting in the AC. Ordering yarn on Ebay has been a passion lately. Now I need to order about 100 hangers to cover with the 18b skeins bulky craft yarn that arrived. I also found some discontinued Lion Woolspun to make a vest that I like from their website. Ebay is a good place to get some great yarn and discontinued yarn at very frugal prices. I am glad that they let us knit on the planes now.

My plan is to keep a better record of my doll and knitting activities on this blog. There are many pictures that I need to load. Stay tuned, it actually may get done! And I would also like to include some nutritional recipes for the summer heat. Feel free to send them to me.

Ciao!
Janis
