Weather Gods!

So we had an ice storm here in Howard County last night. It’s purty…

It was entertaining to watch the dog do her Bambi imitation as she went out this morning. I would have videotaped it, but I’m afraid of animal welfare coming to get me.

Although I have TONS to do at the shop, this means I can spend my morning setting up the website.

That's how many pounds of yarn were delivered yesterday.
and I have LOTS more coming.

The good news is that I can officially open on Monday.
The bad news is that I open on Monday without my Rowan order being on the shelves.
The good news is that the Rowan should be in by the end of next week.
The bad news is that ..
Nope!
It's ALL good right now.

OMG - the shop opens on the 2nd!!!

Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

Tired

But in a good way.

I’ve been really busy trying to get the shop ready. I’ve been cleaning, moving stuff around, spending WAY too much money…

I’m hoping everyone will like the new place. I wanted to make it an open space with lots of light and great things to look at!

One of the things Nittany and I discussed was the need for a place that didn’t put you in overload. We wanted to create a relaxing place where you can feel the peace as soon as you walk in.

I’m hoping everyone will like the yarns I’ve ordered, and all the changes we’ve made.
Now it’s time to finish up the grunt work so I don’t have to spend all afternoon at the shop tomorrow.

GO RAVENS!!!

edit to add:
Large Marge's Yarn Shop it is!
I'll post the website as soon as I get it running the way I like it.
It's in the same place as the former Celtic Knot.

Slacker!

That would be me.

In my defense, these past few days have been insane. I don’t call this place Casa Chaos for nothing!

I’ve been trying to get things done for the store, Dad’s been in ICU at a hospital in FL since last Monday night, Jan is starting round 4 of chemo treatments this week, the girls started CCD again for the year this past Monday night, and Frick had her first meeting for Reconciliation Tuesday night.

I’m a bit frazzled right now.

The good news is that Dad’s health is improving. Considering the doctor gave my mom the choice of operating or just letting him die, I’ll take any improvement.

The good news is that Jan has been responding well to treatments. As she put it, she needs to finish them soon because she doesn’t have time for cancer.

The good news is that I have a store to obsess over, and everything is going well. Scary well…

So all in all, I guess I should be happy. I even took a picture almost all the days so far…

this is the day...

365 in 52

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24

It is my favorite psalm, but I constantly forget to believe in it. This year, I hope I can do it.

I started my new year off early. Monday was the first day of my 365 project, and I’m optimistic.

I’m thinking it’ll be easier to post the 52 as opposed to the 365. I’m going with my given track record here…

So, in theory, I’ll be taking daily pictures of my life, and posting the re-cap weekly. Both Frick and Frack decided to do it as well, so I’m planning on making a family album.
Marsha thinks it’ll be a great thing for them to do if they keep it up. She got them each a scrapbook.
This should prove to be interesting.

As you can see, the reason I started on Monday was because of the red letter day it was.

As the NY lottery commission put it:
All you need is a dollar and a dream…

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to live out a dream.
I, Large Marge, am now a business owner.

I’m the proud proprietor of Large Marge’s Yarn Shop!

I’m still a bit giddy from it all, and have A LOT of work ahead of me to have it up and running in a few weeks, but I think I’m ready!

So, if you’re game, stick around, and let’s see what I can do with it!
