I'm all growed up and growed up...
Can you name the movie that line comes from? Its a little customized, but you might recongize it...I'm growed up because I now have a yarn swift and ball winder attached to my table, and I've wound two who skeins of Manos yarn...look at me go...I never figured I'd need a swift or ball winder, but as I'm finding it harder to locate yarn locally that is in skein form (I love Lambs Pride Bulky, but I have to order it thru the mail) because our two little yarn shops (that are on opposite ends of the earth, but that's another story) carry mostly Cascade 220, which comes only in hank form...and in order to use it doubled, you need to pull from both ends of the skein..the best way to do that is to wind it...and thus, I now have a winder...I have a feeling that living in the country will mean that I have to be more self-sufficient...its not as easy as jumping in the car and zipping to the store for convenience...we are finding we have to schedule our weekend trips and Brian likes to take his lunch hour doing errands like picking up dog/cat food and getting light bulbs at Target...One thing is for sure - it keeps us from doing any kind of impulse shopping...which isn't so bad, really..
So today we're heading to World Market to pick up some wicker baskets so I can start taking stuff outta packing boxes and store them in 'nice looking' recepticles...And of course IKEA just opened on the 15th, but we have a sneaking suspicion that it'll be PACKED there today, so we are not even venturing anywhere NEAR that store...but I could easily see some nice IKEA shelving upstairs for me to store my goodies...I knew I would miss my old studio for so many reasons, storage being a big one...
I'm also gonna try to find a tupperware cake holder at a local thrift store so that I can use it to block the catbed...the cats have been sleeping on it anyway, they don't care...and my tote is very slow going of late because the cats (Clementine mainly) insist on snuggling on it while I'm trying to knit...she will crawl in my lap, and yell at me, if I don't pet her...and then she forces her little head onto my hands to make me pet her...its rather hilarious...a teeny furry kitty who's trying to force you to pet her - I crack up just thinking about it...

Love your dots...great minds think alike :)) I have been making PMC beads with dots. I have to send you some pics...even if they are crappy ones to show you. I am obsessed with dots and port holes...with PMC...you can make little port holes in the beads.
