Happy Valentine's Day!

My husband is not the overly romantic type, we have been together for nearly 11 years now so I don't usually expect much on V-day and neither does he. Well, This year he got me flowers! He even remembered that Gerbera Daisies are my very favourite!
I have been meaning to get some new dress shoes for work and I got a gift certificate for Christmas at my favourite clothes store that I haven't used yet. I thought I would go do a little shopping today. I bought a new pair of jeans and a cute skirt, nothing overly exciting. Then I went to payless shoes, they are having one of their BOGO sales. Well, I found 6 pairs of shoes that I liked and they fit and are all so cute! I got a nice range of sensible to sexy. My very favourite are the teal wedges! So cute! I can't wait to go somewhere so I can wear them!


I have bought a lot of yarn in the last little while, I was actually a little surprised when I laid out everything that I haven't added to my stash on Ravelry. There is quite a bit there! I have got to get caught up! I placed an order from the Elann website and got some of the clearance Zara and some baby alpaca and silk. I have a bunch of new sock yarn from Unwind Yarns. See that one messy tangled skein in the pic, Shannon gave me that one for free I just have to take the time to untangle it. I love tangled skeins and the colours in this one are wonderful!




















I also got a wonderful present from Shannon. Sock Blockers! With little sheepsies on them! I hung them on the wall beside my yarn and stitchmarkers. I think they look good there. My hubby thinks I am crazy.











Now I am off to stash all my new yarn...
