YarnWright spun a FINE 'yarn':

I have s sign at HOME that says: Come in, sit down, relax, converse. The house doesn't always look like this, most times its worse! (which reminds me, whenever I go to someone's house unexpectedly, and the lady of the house is apologizing for her house, I ALWAYS tell her... I came to see YOU, NOT your house(keeping)! :D Noreen

Hide quoted text ->> - Show quoted text - I laugh out loud whenever someone tells me that they can't invite me over 'cause her house is a mess. I promptly invite HER over - so more reluctance after that.

RE: the efficiency myth: How could I be more effecient if i'm spending time cleaning up? As it happens, I'm quite efficient - just disorganized.

That sounds like me - I call it organised chaos!

All the tools may not be in the toolbox but I can tell you which pile the screwdriver is in on the table. ;-)

Typing is obviously not my strong suit - that should have read NO reluctance after that. Make more sense?

"Re: I am NOT going to Michaels craft store anymore.... "

Oh, SURE you're not. ;-)

I know what you mean. I don't even drive on the side of town that we have a Hobby Lobby because I know I'll need up buying a bunch of stuff (we don' t have a Michaels here in Marion otherwise I'd be staying away from whatever side of town that would be on too... One day I may be limited to only staying at home and going to Krogers if I keep this up.)

LOL Well, at least not until I have a few dollars to spare! ;o)

I hear you! I used to be like that when we had a LewisCraft store in the mall and a White Rose just down the street from it, in the nearby city. I really miss LewisCraft and White Rose... they had some really nice stuff.

*sigh*

I have nothing like them in our city.

I'm lucky.

I think ...

We used to have Lewiscraft and Crafts Canada (or some such name), still have Michaels. Two really nice LYS have closed and another good one is run by an older lady who wants to sell & retire. (pout)

However !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We still have Ram Wools, which is a yarn store to die for!! They get huge business from phone & on-line as well as regular drop ins. They're finally getting savvy in marketing their products by having regular sales rather than two a year. ;>) ;>)

But you're not in Britain, are you?

I know of an excellent e-mail supplier but you can't feel the yarn as you can in the shop :-(

Mary

No

We also have an excellent on-line supplier that I order from a LOT....
