I spent a lovely afternoon with my pal Barb, we went on an "inspiration" tour of the Garland district. We started with lunch at Ferguson's and then visited Mocking Bird, The Ruby Slipper, TinMan Gallery, ( I just made the connection that these places were inspired by the Wizard of Oz), Topstitch, and finally Rocket Bakery.
Unfortunately the Mocking Bird is going out of business, such cute togs for babes but in today's climate it is hard to spend $80 on an outfit for the little tyke in your life.
When I knit something and it costs $80 it seems like the value I gain is so worth the expense, the great feeling I get with needles in hand, the adrenaline rush of excitement over the new project, the happiness in making a gift for that special person; and yes that sometimes is myself.
Recession be damned, my sanity is worth untold dollars...isn't it?
