The Tofutsies Snack Pack, that is. (we’re really not trying to make you hungry with all this talk of “Yummy” and “Snack Packs”- honest!) Fifteen new colors of Tofutsies goodness just waiting to become a pair of socks or a baby sweater. Ooooh, or a shawl!  Not all fifteen colors are in the picture; you’ll have to follow the link to see the rest.
When a sock yarn comes in that is named Yummy, I must do the tests to see if it lives up to its name.

Beautiful yarn! Beautiful colors! I must say we’re on overload from Noro right now . . . come in and check it out. We’ve been pulling some design ideas and they are sitting by the yarn displays. Lea-Ann
ETA:Â Wow! Look what Carli has started already . . . the Magic Mirror Socks from http://jeanniefanihi.blogspot.com/2008/06/magic-mirror-socks.html
Susan snuck in last week and received some new yarns and patterns (she’s on summer break with her kids) . . . . check out the New July category. They are some luscious colorways! I can’t wait to delve into Jackie E-S’s new shawl pattern . . . where does she come up with these ideas . . . . Lea-Ann
Oh, but did I mention that all of those that I was sorting through did not contain any, none, zip, nadda, junk mail? Indeed Outlook 2003 has incredible junk mail filtering properties. I do scan the junk mail folder though as some vendor/customer messages do come in there.
Anyways, the majority of the e-mails are vendor notifications of new products/discontinued/sales/special programs and customer inquiries. I’ve sort them into: 1) A: KT Lea-Ann (this is for those who use my contact us on the website as I know they are legit and get first response); 2) A: Other follow-up (this is for notifications of things that need done by a certain time for example Ravelry ads; bills that need paid; deadlines for whatever; 3) C: Later for example vendor news; list messages; new ideas to check out. And there are subfolders within those categories so I can quickly find whatever 
. . . And now the FLAG system — oh how cool is that!
It would *really* help though if I ever get time at the store. Haley sewed all day Sunday, all day Monday, and now this morning, Tuesday, the girls have a meeting at 10 and I won’t get to the store until noonish and need to leave right at 4 so we have more sewing time before Band practice tonight at 6:30. Oh yes, I joined the community band with the girls, we call ourselves the three flutes. Tom asked why I am taking the time since I have so much else to do . . . you know, this is just for me and my girls, no fiber or knitting thing involved, that’s why. And, it feels good to take a break and focus on something different and refreshes me project-wise. I finished the Ulmo Multi scarf the other day and have knit at least 10 rows in between sewing questions on the Filigree Lace Scarf.
What do you do to relax and refresh?
Enough blogging . . on my way to the next meeting! Lea-Ann
