Recovery

I find myself trying to recover this week. Recovery from not reading blogs for 5 days last week. I am just like a kid and feel like I miss something wonderful if I don't catch up. Recovery from being away from he house 5 days. Normal mom chores are just taking control at this point. Recovery from missing 4 work days..... we will just skip that one. Recovery from a wonderful shopping trip to a brick and mortar shop on my list for at least 15 years. The person organizing the trip for work said she had never had a faster response than my plea to go when she sent out a location request. Where you might wonder? Why no other than Ogden Utah! I know I don't have to tell you stitch-a-holics the name of the little design shop located there. It was all that I expected and more. Every wall was covered just like the photo above with models. It was fantastic and a bit overwhelming at the same time.

 This is the area behind the cash register. Wonder what that thing rings up a day? Both of the owners were present and very pleasant as I have always heard they would be. I had about an hour to spend really only need about 12 more to take it all in. At 20 minutes past closing time they were trying to see if there was anything specific I needed.... about another day to shop and several thousand dollars. There was a wonderful wall of shop fabrics that took your breath away. I believe they were mostly Moda and a fat quarter of each print on the entire wall seemed a bit much to ask of people so I passed as it was too hard to choose. Did I mention I was a bit overwhelmed? I need a hour or so to do a first pass, a break with a cup of coffee or tea and then return to power shop in a place as large and fantastic as this....

As sad as it is this is all I could muster up to buy in just over an hour at the world famous Shepherd's Bush. The shop next door appeared to be available. I do hope they are planning to consume the space. Six kits, 4 necklaces, 2 pendants, a couple of fobs and finishing stuff....Just love it all!

I wanted a picture in front of the shop but I was alone and too embarrassed to ask for someone to click a picture. One of those things I'll regret I am sure....

Made good progress on Linen and Lace but I'll save that for another post as well as the pictures of Utah outside the shop. It is a great state to visit if you have a chance. Majestic to say the least. God did a wonderful job making those mountians and countryside.

thanks for stopping by,

Pam
