Anne is having an “Inspirational” contest for November. Go tell her your favourite patterns for stashed yarns or otherwise. (Tell her I sent you and I get an extra entry!)

Cass is having her “333″ Contest – A Few of her Favourite Things in celebration of her 333rd blog post! The rules and prizes are in multiples of three! Go check it out, have fun… and tell her I sent you!

My party went very well! That is the least stressed I’ve ever been while hosting a party. I have to admit I was a little disappointed by some of my friends who didn’t try to mingle… but the kitchen was the mingle-centre so that was great. It seemed like the living room became “non-mingle” area even though I had a fire going and everything! But of course, the only way to show these events is through the photos.

Me and “Johnny” (aka Laura). Laura & Rachel got me a pillowcase with
Johnny Depp’s face on it. My ‘tourist smile’ is so shockingly big because
“Johnny” just grabbed my butt.

Evan brought champagne!

Cheers to me!
