Duncan's kindergarten graduation was on Tuesday. Look how handsome he is in his little cap and gown!
And then I got a lot of work done on my Crystal Palace projects. I finished up the third of three and it's blocking dry, and all that is left to do on the projects is the finishing work. I also worked up another that's in the machine felting right now. It's part of a special new project I'm doing with CPY that'll launch this fall. More about that when I have more details and can release the information.
Book sales seemed to pick up a bit this month so far, maybe as a result of TNNA in Columbus. CPY took several of my bags with them to display in their booth, and they also are promoting my books. They have them available to sell to local yarn shops and online stores that purchase their yarns, and so they give the books a great boost whenever they set up a booth at one of these conventions.
CPY has some luscious new colors coming out in their Fjord and Iceland yarns, and a new bulky weight yarn called Kaya which is like their Taos yarn, only double in weight. I'm working up something with it now in a gorgeous colorway.
It's good to be back in the CPY saddle again after having several months off while I was getting my book launched and getting some other things caught up. I think having my yarns and stuff organized, visible, and easy to access has been a big motivator for me to start designing some new things to make with all those yarns.
So, here we are at the beginning of a new week. It has to be calmer than last week . . . . right?
Funny enough my mom's church as had a hiccup or two for the past few months also. Harder for her since it's the church she grew up in. Hope you find another one soon. And Duncan looks SO grown-up!
ReplyDeleteOh & I always get more done when I've got my stuff organized.;) Hang in there!
