Dawn Brocco's Life & Design Blog

Had another showing on Friday. They seemed to like it, as they spent an entire hour going through the house and lawns and talking with the agent outside. I think that's the longest anyone's spent at a showing. Closest was 45 minutes.

Have been proofing one of the 4 patterns I've been working on. It's done and 2 of the remaining 3 are just days from being done. The last needs to wait until I knit another sample, but the 4 new designs in the queue will be taking precedence. I'm really eager to get going on them, as soon as I can order yarn.

We did a little shopping Saturday - 2 new pillows, new all cotton sheets and finally!, one of those 5x magnifying bathroom mirrors. NOW I can see that crappy eye well enough to do its brows and put makeup on it! Yay! All at Linens & Things. I had traded in a gazilllion (well, not quite!) of my American Express points for 2 gift card to Home Depot for $150 total value and 1 to Linens and Things for $50.

The Home Depot gift cards helped pay for the supplies for redoing the mud room, and the L&T card got almost all of Saturday's purchases.

Been working on CIC socks again. Just started the 3rd pair. And I swatched some laceweight cashmere, doubled for a sport wt. I have an embellished baby sweater in mind. I may even begin that today, though I do have a whole slew of other things to do (business and non-business).

Some days just feel so ripe with potential. It's been like that lately, and it's no wonder. I'm a spring child - it's like beginning a new life each spring. Everything inside and outside starts to bloom and take life.
