it's thundering & I can't sleep yet...

these photos from yarnovermovement make me smile.
Check out Tara-Lynn's great Etsy shop for cuuute vintage inspired hand-knits!

Speaking of knitting... I attended a class on Tuesday!

Lune is such a darling place, I'll take any excuse to go and visit. :)  We had a great time, and I learned a lot.  I learned how to cast on with a new technique that I've never tried, and it lit that fire for knitting again!  :)

Well maybe I should get some sleep, today I:
-organized my closet (with my sis-in-law's help & motivation)
-did multiple loads of laundry (more to do tomorrow)
-purged
-vacuumed
-made Waffles of insane greatness for supper. :)
-got purple gel nails
-biked ~10 miles (hill challenge!)
-did a wee makeover on the blog! (whadya think??)

it's raining outside... I love falling asleep to thundershowers...
