The beach, the beach, THE BEAUTIFUL BEACH!!

We are off to Outer Banks, NC for a much needed vacation. This is an annual trip but with Peter working in Mexico last year, we weren't able to go. We weren't sure we would be able to go this year, with his job change and all. Everything worked out and we are OH. SO. READY.

I won't even bitch about the umpteen hours, spread over two days, car ride with seven of our kids and one's girlfriend. Much.

Here's the results of Abi and Kai's (left to right) adventure in dying yesterday...

I LOVE IT!
Oh, and my attempt at a purple pansy spindle for Sharon...

I listed seven new spindles in the shop today.

Woman! You are awesome!
[teasing raspberries to all the others'] It's alllllll mine!
I just love that spindle and can hardly wait to have it in my hands!

Big applause for Shannon! WOO HOO!

And more applause for her talented children- those rovings are lovely!
Great colours..... can hardly wait to see them spun up. Have a super duper holiday (as they say in these parts!) - 'see' you when you get back! :)

That spindle is absolutely gorgeous, glad it's taken or I'd be so tempted, and I don't need another spindle!

Your kids did an awesome job with their dying, obviously talented like their Mom.

Be sure to check out Knitting Addiction in Southern Shores (right on the border with Duck). When you're stuck in all the 'coming home' traffic you can have a diversion ;-) OBX are so awesome!
