the Postman always rings twice

I got some goodies in the mail!

Half of my elann.com delivery came in:

Jo Sharp DK Tweed – Paper Rose

Jo Sharp DK Tweed – Cedar

It’s so nice, I want to start knitting with it immediately! I’m thinking cardigans for both colors. Now to find patterns….

And Margaret Klein Wilson was kind enough to send me some Mostly Merino to sample:

I found out about it from a really nice article on Knitter’s Review. Margaret sent me a sample in the Worsted Weight and the Fingering Weight. It seems really nice. Thanks again Margaret!

I also got a very nice letter from the United States Botanic Garden requesting my portfolio of macro botanica photographs for a possible exhibit. Clearly I am very excited. It would be wonderful to have another show. My sister-in-law, Margaret, was kind enough to mention me when she went to an exhibit there featuring Andrea Baldeck. Baldeck was one of the jurors in the Morris Arboretum Garden Life Exhibit, which was held in Oct ’03 through Apr ’04. I had three photographs chosen to be in the exhibit, and Baldeck chose “Sunny Side Left” as her Best in Show selection. It was quite a thrill.
