What a great weekend! Sometimes you just have those 2 days that are completely awesome. Some days it seems like you got so much done and experienced so much and you really feel as if you are finally living life to it’s fullest.  This was one of those weekends.

Saturday I got up bright and early meeting Cheryl at Cafe Nouvoue for breakfast after which I drove us over to Becky’s place in Camarillo. Talk about a cute house. I want to move in next door Of course we had to take the tour of the yarn room (am I the only one with out a yarn room? I feel so inadiquate!).

After packing up the dodge with all of us girls we headed out to Santa Monica for Wild Fiber.

What a great shop! Very big & open so you can see everything in one scan. Very nice. It’s always so exciting to find yarn shops that have so much diffrent stuff. I will always have a deep love for Anacapa Fine Yarns and will buy my bulk from Louis, but it’s fun to go to new shops & buy more exotics & random skiens.  I walked away with some beautiful turquiose baby alpaca, some koigu in a very hollyhock pink & a deep egg plant purple, some noro sock yarn (which is already almost 1 sock), and some more pinky yarn which I can’t quite remember what it is. I will post pictures I promise

 They had Habu, I had never seen this in person before & it’s quite intriguing to say the least.

How can you not be stunned by the beauty of fiber? Diffrent colors and textures. It’s always so intoxicating for the senses.

Becky & Cheryl get comfy right away. Becky assures me that you can “Never take a nice picture”. So I clicked right away . (I have also come to the conclusion that my monitor at home is so much better than the one I use at work becaues this picture isn’t dark at all in real life).

After Wildfiber we headed out to Father’s Office which is a hole in the wall burger joint in Santa Monica Becky turned us onto & it was truely fabulous.

That’s the burger you get. Don’t you dare ask them to change it because they state clearly…

The service was as you would expect. They almost forgot Becky’s burger but it was all so tastey. After we were all refulled we window shopped a bit, & headed home.

But the fun was not over.

Sunday Matt and I cruised in the foothills of Ventura & dropped in on many an open house. We were obviously wasting the time of the agents because there is no way in hell we could afford the 1.5 million dollar homes we were poking around in, but man some of those views!  We also stopped in a few houses in our price range & it’s heartening to know that there are things out there that are not dumps that we can afford. We are still going to wait till summer though because we would like more of a down payment to secure better rates. Yeah I know, they say the rates are great, but you still have to qualify for those.

In knitting news I finished my leaf lace t-shirt. It looks fabulous & is currently blocking. Pictures to come soon. This week I am determined to get all my UFO’s off the needles.
