Today is tax day. Not my favorite day of the year. It's also the anniversary of the day I moved out of my ex-husband's house and on to a completely different life. This day has a lot of complicated, mixed-feelings in it. I don't have time to sort them all out though. I've got about 10 minutes to slam out a blog entry and then I'm off to work.
Preparations are still underway at the store. We've now got most of the shelving in, though some of them are on backorder and may not be here by the time we open. The back room is filling up with yarn. I don't have storage back there for all of it. I'm dying to get to the point where we can actually stock the shelves. Yesterday two huge boxes of Cascade 220, 220 Superwash, Ecological Wool and Eco + arrived. James the UPS man is my favorite person these days. I look up and down the block to see if his big brown truck is heading our way. I tap my foot impatiently and then go wild with joy when he pulls up in front of the door.
There isn't much to report other than store stuff right now. Knitting is virtually non-existant. I managed 6 rows on my Kimono Shawl yesterday and I set up the store's ball winder to wind some of my Koigu, but that's it.
Just a smattering of what we have waiting to go on the shelves. Off I go!
Wow! So exciting!!!!
:)

Things are looking great! I've already told my mom she's going to have a new LYS to visit. And I'll be by this fall for a visit, too!

OMG, it looks fabulous in there! I can't wait to admire it in person...and, well, to shop your shelves dry!

My DD says she read a book where the character was born on April 15th and nobody ever wanted to celebrate her birthday, that the dining table would be covered with tax forms -- no room for the cake...
You're going to need a fainting couch in the store for those of us who become overwhelmed by all the beautiful yarn!

It looks beautiful! I'd love to come by on the 22nd, but I'll have the boys with me. I sent you an e-mail, let me know what you think!
