Yarn, Glorious Yarn

-

I went shopping! Online from the comfort of my recliner. I  finally found a good offer on shipping. Twenty five cents for the entire order, as long as the order was for more than $35 dollars. I was over that. Way over!

The items all came on the same day, but in three different boxes.  


 

It took time to match everything in the boxes to what I ordered and what was on the packing lists. Once done I found one item missing, but that was one I knew was going to be back ordered for a few weeks. 

Dobby checking things out, what happened to all those open shelves I saw just a few weeks ago? Yeah, the shelves are full and there are a few items in one box you can't see. 




Dobby hasn't shown that he is much of a box kitty. He did go inside one of the larger boxes for a few minutes. I did leave them sit out for a few days but he didn't show any interest beyond that first visit. 

Oh and on Thursday Dobby showed me that he really trusts me. He used the litter box while I was standing there. I had just finished scooping them and he wandered over to re-christen the box.  

Plus the scammers are out. I got a text stating an item I had purchased in March was under recall. OK, I bought stuff for Dobby during that time frame. Checked Amazon directly, the order number in the text didn't match ANY order I had done all year. Yeah, I'm not that senile or dumb to click on your link.  





Happy Weekend.

    WOW! Look at all the goods you scored!
    An artist must have their tools and supplies, after all.

    Dobby - get used to my man: THIS - the cupboard filled with yarn - is normal. It was the empty shelves that were a rare sight.
    Good to see you get yourself such a wonderful haul of yarn.

    Oh, that looks beautiful. You are going to make some delightfully lovely blankets and hats from this.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
