Sorry this is so long...

I would just like to send a big thanks out to Jackie at http://knitdaisyknit.blogspot.com For the wonderful R. A. O. K that she sent me. My DH called me Wednesday afternoon right before I closed the shop and told me that I had received a big package in the mail. So I told him to open it for me and tell me what it was. Well inside was a very big stash of yarn (one skein of Wool of The Woods in Soft Spritz colorway it has dark blue, green, mauve, and purple, there was also about 4 skeins worth of Paton’s Divine in a beautiful deep pink color and one skein on a cream color.) and a wonderful card. I was so surprised and it could not have come at a better time to lift my sprits, I had a very slow day at the shop and I was feeling down. Thank you again Jackie, you made my day, (week). Here is a picture of my shop for those of you who have been asking. I have been busy. Yesterday my day started at 4:15 am, My DH and I had to take his father to Emory University hospital for a Lung Biopsy, We were supposed to be there by 7am for him to check in and we arrived about 30 min early. They told us that his surgery would be about 1 &1/2 hours after the check in time, they did not come and get him until 10:50 am so to say the least it felt like we were there all day before that actually started the surgery. While I was sitting in the waiting room I was sitting there knitting and I in turn attracted a lot attention. By the middle of the day I had sold the scarf that I was working on and the lady wanted a hat made with the same yarn, and a hat out of ribbon yarn. I had a small scrap of it in my tote to make a flower for my Secret pal at church. She liked the ribbon yarn and asked if I could get anymore of the same color for her hat. Thank goodness it is a Lion Brand Yarn, “Incredible”. I also had another lady who just asked me if I would mind if she watched me knit. I was working on my pair of socks that I started on Sunday and the Chevron and Feather Scarf from “The Little Box of Scarf Patterns” This is the scarf that I sold. I had about 5 inches done and had to rip it out because I had miscounted some stitches and could not find where they were correct. I have to start all over again. Please pray for my father-in-law, He is still in the hospital today and will be ther until sunday, and they will not have the results of the biopsy until next tuesday. They took 3 samples and they said that they could not find any healthy cells in any of the samples, so it is not looking real promising.
