It's just like Christmas morning





That's what it sure seemed like this morning: Christmas. A friend of ours had been cleaning out her craft stash and very graciously shared them with us. She does a lot of knitting, crocheting and spinning so naturally there was a lot of yarn, fabric, lace and other odds 'n' ends. It was heaven going through all of our newly acquired treasures. We had a whole couch and a half of goodies. B#4 was looking through the fabrics; dreaming up quilt designs. Mom, B#3 and I dug through the bags of yarn, ooh-ing and aah-ing over all the different colors and textures of the yarns. "Oooh, mom feel this cashmere yarn!" "Hey, this green would be great for a scarf!" B#5 was so excited to find some unspun fiber; he's been begging us to teach him how to spin on the spinning wheel (he's such a funny guy). B#6 had been given some dress up clothes so she was perfectly content. Even little B#7 had fun! So if you ever need some yarn....
