Today's earrings. Notice something around my neck?

I received in the mail my logo on a pendant from Jesse Jane's Etsy shop. She also sent me (on the right) another yarn logo that she sells. Her pendants (on scrabble letters) are too freaking cute. I love it.

While out with Angela today, I found this awesome picture frame. I love nifty things like this, so I couldn't resist. Isn't it awesome?

Back view of the neat frame!

While shopping I also came across this! World Monopoly with MONTREAL as Boardwalk! I'm so asking for this game for Xmas/Chanukah this year. How cool is that?

Some garden updates:

I may be able to get 2 more zucchinis out of the garden this year. There are two more growing. Let's hope they grow fast! I wouldn't mind it!

Today's picking loot consisted of this above. There is one more (possibly 2 more) cucumbers in the garden, I hope they grow grow grow!

My pumpkin! The bottom is completely orange and the top is just about fully orange. I'm going to wait another week or two before pulling it from the vine. It's very exciting. I hope to make pumpkin pie when we carve it for Halloween!

I got an awesome package from my Falling For Ewe swap pal today. Thank you so much! Here's the loot that I received:

Misti Alpaca Sock Yarn in Miriam 07.

Awesome earrings!

2 kids patterns!

Knit Fast, Die Young by Mary Kruger. I'm not usually into mysteries, but this one looks interesting and it includes a subject I like - yarn! Also, a very cute sweater keychain. I had one in another color and it fell off my keychain. Happy that I have a new one now. If I like it, I may pick up Died in the Wool.

Some gum (my fave) and a sheel nail file! How cute!

And some yummy delicious chocolates. MMMmmm!

Thank you pal! I love everything!

Tonight I went knitting with West Island Knits. We were 8 people strong tonight with one little Mack. I worked on the Moss Block Cardigan by Jenn and had a great time chatting it up with everyone.

I've added some new patterns to the Robyn's Nest pattern library. I now sell Dream in Color Designs Sleepwalker Socks and Sweet Dream Socks by Monica Nappe. In honor of these new patterns, I've listed my Dream in Color Smooshy on sale for the release of these patterns in my shop!

I've also stocked the shop with the Dream in Color Shrug Pattern by Kay Dahlquist. It calls for Dream in Color Classy which is on its way to me now. I've ordered a ton of colors and I can't wait to announce it's arrival in a few days. Stay tuned here for the yarn!

Very sad to learn that I'm all caught up on Monk and the 2nd half of the 7th season won't return until January. Why are they doing that to us?

Today when I dropped off Sean at daycare, he did the crying dance again. But, when I went to pick him up from daycare today, and peaked in, he was jumping around with his friends, laughing. I think it will get better sooner rather than later.... crossing my fingers.
