I was good, and I organized all of my yarn. Oh, and I made the bed too, haha! I don't want to wake up screaming in the middle of the night like an Aunt I have, screaming cause something brushed up against my leg! ;-) Alright ... so I bought three *bags of 10* lighthouse yarns. There in the bottom right corner. You can see the blues on the bottom, and the pinks in the middle. Well, the ones on top,they're supposed to be this really pretty dark pink/purple ombre ... but I only have 4 like that. The other 6 are more green/blue/brown. They're from a seperate dye lot, which is why they're like that. Bummer, huh! Ah well .. I can still use them all. The BIG balls on the side, as I explained in a previous entry, are HUGE skeins .. I can make a baby blanket, hat, booties, and a sweater out of them and STILL have yarn left over. I'm missing one out of the bunch though .. since I slready started using it for a blanket I started. the stuff with the red/yellow and red/black labels .. thats what I got in my "assortment" bags. They have a really bright rainbow verigated yarn (8 total), a bright pink/purple/turquoise verigated yarn (8) this super soft baby pastels yarn (4) some "heather" yarn, in dark grey (4) and dark berry (4). Above them, in the to left corner, I have felting yarn, which basically the more you wash whatever you make with this, the more it looks like fabric, and the colors mesh together. I can't wait to start on that as well. And what's taking up the entire top half (my side) of the bed, is FUN FUR!!!! I use this for scarves, and also to embellish hats and brims and such. I'm officially SET on yarn. This is just what I PURCHASED .. not counting what I already have .. which is about this mich, if not more. I have three HUGE boxes of yarn I already have .. haha!
Bryan jokes that I can open my own yarn store .. and I'm positive I can! I've been taking alchemy orders on my shop, and I've had to deny quite a few since I didnt have the yarn people were requesting. Well, not aymore! I have a list of emails that I need to send out and get the orders going again ... I'm so excited I'm about to burst!

You definitely have A LOT of yarn. :) That's great your etsy shop is doing so well. I love that pink and purple baby afghan on your shop. My sister is having a girl and I'm thinking I might get that for her or I could just do a custom order with you. Hey maybe we could team up and do a giveaway on my blog if you're interested. It might introduce more people to your store. Just let me know if this is something you might want to do!
