motivation is everything

You can do the work of two people, but you can’t be two people.
Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
~Lee Iacocca
I really need to be two people right about now in my life! Do you feel that way as much as I do? It’s okay. I thrive on busy. However, as I get closer and closer to leaving for vacation I seem to get busier and busier. All good stuff though. The first installment of the sock club will be dyed over the next few weeks and mailed out the last few days of the month. I’ve already worked with the special club member who was chosen to work with me on the colorway and it’s a very pretty one. I will give you one little hint. It was inspired by a painting. Ha! How’s that for vague?
Speaking of vacation I want to let everyone know a few things. First of all I am not taking yarn orders again until June 1st. I need to dye the rest of the orders on my dye queue and get the sock club yarn dyed and then I’m off to Italy. I know June 1st seems like forever away but I promise it will be here before you know it. While I am gone, the shop will still remain open but no orders will ship from May 5th-19th. If you need your swag, get it soon! I still have some Pattern Tamers and just placed another order of them as well. The Haiku Bags are all back in stock as the new Karma Neutral Collection sold out almost instantly when I announced I got them in.
I totally thought I had all kinds of things to share. I guess not. *sigh* Oh! I am going to be knitting something soon. It’s a present for someone. But I think they read my blog so I can’t even talk about it. Darn. But how exciting is that? Me knitting! Don’t pass out. I know. And I started off the year with such a bang with those fingerless mitts. Okay my friends. Time to get some yarn ready to dye. It might be 79° today! I’m ready for the warm weather. Did you know that it snowed here last week? Look. So not kidding!
See?
Have a good week my friends!

    Your mountain looks like a brownie covered in confectioner’s sugar.

    I love that you waited for it to be 80 degrees before you started knitting. :)

    I love this mountain landscape. If you stare at it long enough, it looks like the clouds are moving. Very relaxing.

    As a friend I would be perfectly willing to ease some of your burden by going to Italy in your place!

    You said : I know June 1st seems like forever away but I promise it will be here before you know it.

    I was just thinking about that yesterday in the shower. June 1st is my birthday and I realized that it’s only a month and a half away. Yikes!

    Lee Iacocca is The Man. :) Just think about your vacation, don’t think about all the stuff you need to do!
