Ever since <a href="http://susanbanderson.blogspot.com/">Susan</a> introduced me to this yarn I have been dying to get my hands on some. This stuff gets snapped up fast and now I know why. Yummy to look at and yummy to touch. Is it wrong to snuggle a skein of yarn? I bet <a href="http://susanbanderson.blogspot.com/">Susan</a> does it. I mean, look at it. It's adorable! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/SB4fo_yY61I/AAAAAAAAAxg/14Sn5i9GsRE/s1600-h/yarntini.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/SB4fo_yY61I/AAAAAAAAAxg/14Sn5i9GsRE/s400/yarntini.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196625809210141522" border="0" /></a>Just as I was finishing up the last "Mom's Day Special" cupcake orders to go in the mail, my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=19334">yarntini</a> package showed up. Aren't they delicious together? Neapolitan goodness. As I send so many of my own handmade creations into the world, it's nice to be the recipient sometimes - even if they are gifts from myself! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/SB4fpfyY62I/AAAAAAAAAxo/HQxuT2dX0YM/s1600-h/woodlandpins.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_B4cqIWkgkGw/SB4fpfyY62I/AAAAAAAAAxo/HQxuT2dX0YM/s400/woodlandpins.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196625817800076130" border="0" /></a>Steel yourself for more cuteness. These amazing woodland pins are from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5595552">Pinks and Needles</a> and they came with their own little coordinating pincushion pot. I know! (You might ask why I would buy myself a pincushion, since I am surrounded by them. Well, I can't actually use one of my cupcake pincushions while I am making more cupcake pincushions. That would get mighty confusing on the ol' sewing table wouldn't it?) Ahh, I sure needed these little pick-me-ups. Last week was a bugger for me, trying to stick a fork in that pesky <a href="http://blog.betzwhite.com/2008/03/in-mood.html">manuscript</a>. The bulk of it has been tamed but there are a few lingering odds and ends I hope to take care of by mid-week!Betz Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07462296992185760050noreply@blogger.com
