R U READY!!! Magic Yarn Ball

The days are getting longer and hotter. That’s right….Summer isn’t far away! And we’re going to celebrate by having a Magic Yarn Ball (MYB) Swap. I am honored to be your hostess for this swap and am looking forward to our all having a wonderful time.

WHAT is a MYB Swap, you ask? It is just like any other swap except this time the goodies are IN THE YARN. It is a gift-filled treasure. Instead of making a little package, full of wonderful little things, you buy a skein, ball, or hank of yarn (50grms if you participate in the $10,$15,$20 a 100grms if you go for the $25). Then, you start rolling it into a ball. As you go, you wind all the little treats up into the ball! You can hide everything, so it’s all a surprise, or you can leave little bits peeking out to offer a taste of what’s to come. Then you ship it off…with the label from the yarn, of course! The goodies you wrap in might include anything from very special single buttons or beads to little sets of stitch markers, tapestry needles, or very special bits of vintage ribbon and fabric. Round toys such as super balls or homemade bottle cap pincushions make excellent centers for starting your ball.

What could be more wonderful a hot summer day than sitting in the shade (or inside in the air conditioning) with YARN, STITCH MARKERS in your favorite COLORS, perhaps a special pattern, and lots of little goodies selected just for you and knitting up something special for yourself?

This is a simple, anonymous swap (you aren’t required to be anonymous but it does make for much fun). You will have one person you will send a “MYB” package tailored just for them, and a different person from whom you should receive a package tailored to you. We will have several cost categories for you to select from. You can make items or add more if you like, but this is not required. Registration for the swap will end on MAY 8th. Additionally, this swap does NOT require that you knit something for your swap partner! As ADHD knitters, we probably all have piles of projects OTN, or headed that way. We don’t wish to add to that “to knit” list by requiring you to knit something for your partner. This swap is more about the supplies to enable us to knit something ourselves (or someone special) and little goodies.

When you receive your package from your swap partner, make sure that you contact them and let them know that the items have arrived safely. ALSO post that you received your package in this thread (and IDEALLY some images to share with us as well…cause who doesn’t love yarn porn?).
If you don’t think you can meet these requirements (those just mentioned as well as meeting shipping dates, etc), please do NOT join the swap. Following these rules are essential for making the swap a pleasant experience for all concerned.

Following are the important swap dates:
Registration Opens: IMMEDIATELY
Registration Closes: MAY 8th
Swap Partner Names Sent: by MAY 11th
Package Postmark Date: Packages must be postmarked by June 5th.

Happy Swapping everyone and thanks for joining us on this!

OLIVIA'S GARDEN

I’m the proud Aunt of our new baby Olivia. My older brother who we thought would never settle down (he’ll be 50 years old next month, never married, and never had any kids) is gorgeous, wonderful and and an amazing man, found the most amazing, gorgeous wonderful women. Long story short within a year after dating they got married and had a baby all within a 2 year span. Yayyyyyyy for Barry and Angie. Here’s the Pillow/Blanket and poem I wrote and made them for Olivia…

Olivia’s Garden

Soft light brown hummus.
Scattered fertile and sound.
Mature pollen juices seeping down through the ground.
Sunlight now shining pure vitamin D.
Roots sucking moisture from oxygen trees.
The veins from this seed is now starting to grow.
In no time at all will this wildflower show.
The beauty the strength from your touch and your love.
Grew this perfect wildflower named “Olivia”.

I'm on my new computer and it is so foreign to me right now. It's funny how you get so attached to your computer. I mean I love this one, it is so much nicer then my other one. I just feel clumsy on it. it will take some getting used to I suppose.

Nothing could be more fun then to run your fingers through tons of buttons and costume jewelry. I love these little treasures. I never throw anything out without first examining it's goods. I love antique buttons and appliques. I love to reuse, up cycle,re-cycle or salvage and redo already done items. I love the challenge of experimentation. I let the tiny treasures speak to me. I never know what will go where until it happens. T hat is the great mystery of design. Here is some of the wonderful treasures I just received from a dear sweet Ravelry friend.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE MAKE ME A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE

What can be so difficult about making a really good cup of coffee. I have 3 coffee makers and yet I still haven't adopted the skills to make a decent cup of coffee. I have tried for years to achieve that Four Star restaurant coffee. You know the cup of coffee that is served to you after a really deliocus dinner with really great people that you enjoy being with. Whaa whaa whaa, OK forget the dinner the family the friends. I just want a really good, no GREAT cup of coffee...Is that too much to ask. Any suggestions feel free to post.

It has arrived...

My computer is home at last. Boy, what the heck did we do before we all had all the luxuries of electronics. Better yet, our kids would be clueless, (or maybe not). Well I'm just happy to have a computer here at last...
