Nashville's newest attraction
Last week sometime Nashville was blessed with a new store.... Trader Joe's. I had heard about Trader Joe's through friends of mine that live in Virgina but I had never set foot through the doors.. until the day it opened... now I know... Awesome!!
I knew I should have brought my camera with me on the first day I went. Because it was just crazy! So many people were there it was a mad house. So since I didn't bring my camera I am going to link to the Artsy Mama Blog because she summed it up just right.... Thanks Artsy Mama!!

Griffin and his friend Juliana played a little Tennis together after school on Friday. So of course I had to snap some pictures...
Griffin is putting on the moves..

This is Lilly, she is Juliana's dog. She did a great job getting her picture taken.

Yarn
If you know me then you know how crazy I am about fiber...yarn, knitting etc.... I have a secret dream... that one day... I will have some land and raise Alpacas. Or maybe sheep. I would treat them like pets and sell their fiber . My land would be full of green, rolling hills and I would run over the hills while the wind blew my hair and the flower petals I had just picked...... oh ... sorry...
But I do love fiber... and I just started being interested in spinning fiber into yarn. The other day I finished my first little ball of yarn and I wanted to take a picture of it. I went to my friend Dianne's house because her house is full of wonderful treasures that I find amazing. After finding a few things that I liked I came up with these:
Then I did this...
Then I thought , "what a cool concept." So I started looking around Dianne's house and her yarn stash.
And came up with these:
and this
Then this... boobs and yarn.... LOL
I had way too much fun... Still life with yarn.... the contrast of soft and hard.... objects you wouldn't think of with yarn. hummmm...... So what do you think?
How exciting!!
