The not-so-best parts? That it had to end, and of course the weather when we stepped off the plane in Burlington on Sunday night (let me see - your typical 50 degrees, windy and raining...) At least the sun is shining brilliantly today, and did anyone catch the sunset last night? WOW!
Barb and Kalen did a great job holding down the fort while I was gone (Michele was also on vacation). Rug hooking is really picking up in the shop - yesterday we had to reorder a lot of patterns and kits. This week we have some new patterns coming in (Primitive Grace). I'm not sure what my next project will be. I am definitely going to hook our checkerboard pattern for Helen and Sophie, but I'm not sure if that is next on the agenda. The girls love to play checkers, and I have always wanted a large cloth checkerboard. So I will hook the checkerboard and most likely give it to them as a birthday present (August) or Christmas present. It will depend on how many other projects I start in the meantime.
We did get in some lovely new wools - textures and plaids. Can't wait to get started on some of these!
Fishies is nearing completion. I worked on it last night between post-vacation laundry loads.
I made the Krayon Krazy sweater on vacation. It is adorable! And the yarn (Cilantro) rocks. It was excellent to knit with. 
I am on the sleeves on the Coco Loco sweater. It's cute and I hope to finish it up by the end of the weekend. 
Joy sent us two new kid's samples and they are great. One is Cheri Cherry in Manos Cotton Stria:
and the other is an Oat Couture baby polo in Rowan Wool Cotton: 
They are both adorable - and people are knitting for kids and babies like crazy at this time of year, so now we have four new models to inspire people.
