The notebook is arriving a little early today! Our town was hit with a storm that has knocked down our phone/internet lines so I am publishing early this evening since I will be without internet tomorrow! I hope you enjoy the notebook this week and I am so thankful for your comments and support on the site. Email response time has slowed and I promise to get back to everyone as soon as I can!  Thanks for your patience!

    That sweater is beautiful (silken straw) but do you know how much it would cost to make??? Yikes! The pattern calls for 4 skeins of yarn at $31/ea.

    I love their patterns, but tend to look for the cheaper yarn at our craft store to make things! :)
