more with the travel!

I've just gotten back from a restorative weekend with Jillian and her family in Ann Arbor. I feel really lucky to be able to [sort of] share her kids when I visit. My sister is of the non-mom variety [as am I] so I don't have official nieces or nephews. So I get to fulfill my auntie instincts with J's kids. It's really something special -- probably moreso because it's not a daily thing for me.

Meanwhile, I just spotted this on the Make 1 Yarns blog...their Fall Fiber Arts Retreat is open for registration. And take a peek at who's gonna be there...Nancy Bush! Cookie A! Stephanie Pearl-McPhee! and me. Me?

Me! I get to go to Alberta again, hang with Amy and Sandra of Make 1 and all the cool knitters that they'll bring along. I can't even stand it. I'll be doing my new plug-and-play lace class which I'm really excited about. Plus a little No Sheep action for those that want to partake.

Registration just opened and already more than 25 people have signed up. You wanna come? :-)
