I didn't do ANY knitting yesterday. Too busy. But it's okay... it's very okay...
Before I get on with all of that though I thought it might be fun (and flirty!) to flash my stash.
(This sounds so pervy! o.0)
So here it is. My Cabin Cove Stash... well part of it. There are 4 or 5 hanks/balls missing from this photo. Gotta leave a little something to the imagination. :P Oh and the yarn in the header of the Shut Up & Knit Your Cabin Cove blog is mine as well. Heh. I really like his yarn!
So yeah if you were ever wondering where all the Cabin Cove went... o.0 I don't feel bad about having so much though. Each color is unique and wonderful and I will have a lot of joy knitting up such ultra faboo fiber. I mean I don't get stash guilt. I can see if a person has impulse control issues, doesn't have the space or is spending the cat food money on stuff they can't afford. But if it's not breaking the bank or busting the stash cabinet open then it's all okay. And yes I can still keep the stash cabinet doors closed without them popping open at the odd time. *L*
Now the big news a few of you have been wondering about. *waves at Barbp*
I'm going to OtterLand tomorrow!!! Vacation, Baby! WooHooHoo!!! :D
Can you tell I'm a wee bit excited? ;^)
It's been more than a year since I went to visit my people and boy do I miss them.
My people are Sea Otters if'n you haven't been following along at home, btw.
Sunday the honey I watched a movie about Synchronicity and then right afterward as he was turning off the DVD player a television show about the Monterey Bay Aquarium came on. Monterey being OtterLand for those of you new to my world. So of course it made me homesick and wanna see my peoples so not even thinking my honey would be up for it I said we should go on vacation. He said OKAY and asked how this week was. o.0
My first thought was no way as it's such short notice, but then a deeper more meaningful part of me told that part to shut it the hell up. So I said, sure when do we leave. He, my honey, asked what if we left Thursday. I said why not Wednesday and there you go. We are going to OtterLand! So yesterday and today I am working my otterbutt off so I can leave bright and early in the morning to go be with my peoples. *GRIN*
Happy Happy Happy!!!
The best part is that this week work wise is the perfect week for this sort of thing. It all couldn't have worked out better even if I had planned it for months. Talk about synchronicity! :D
Sunday the honey booked the hotel and started looking through his maps and travel stuff. He's got it all planned out and even looked up Local Yarn Shops in OtterLand and the surrounding areas. ;^) Love Him Muchly.
It was kinda funny. I told him i was going to look up the LYS online to see what was around and he handed me a piece of paper with all the details and said I already guessed one of my surprises. *grin*
I'll tell ya all about my trip and have lots of photo's when I get back. *HappyOtterButtDance*
Here are a few photo's from my last trip to Otterland. All piccies are Clickety McBiggety.
Seals on the beach
Seal faces up close: They remind me of TKK with their wittle faces. (everything reminds me of TKK if I'm gonna be honest here...)
Here's a few pictures of the coastline.
I'm an Otter, I like water. ;)
There's a lack of Otter photo's here because well they are difficult to photograph from the shore for the most part. Though I've done it. The pictures are just trapped in my other computer. *glares at the stupid broken computer* Bastard. The other reason for the lack of Otter photos is because I'm so focused on paying attention to them that I don't have the presence of mind to take their picture. ;)
Well we have lots of fun stuff planned and I need to go do a bunch of stuff so we can leave on schedule. In a bit we have to take TKK to the kitty hotel. WAH! I hate leaving her. I already miss her. But at least it's for a fun trip and not work. :D
So we'll leave early tomorrow morning and get back sometime on Sunday. I'll be taking my Pink Dream Hourglass Socks and Moody Duckie Hat along for my knitting.
I hope y'all have a fantastic week. I know I will!! :D
Have a wonderful vacation!
Now I know where all the "Dave" yarn is! You are going to have some beautiful things...

Have a great time. Take lots of pics, too! We'll be waiting for you. And give the honey a big hug for getting all the LYS listed. (Does he have a brother, by any chance?)
Oh, and I saw a couple of skeins I think I want back.

I find the things which totally entrance me I don't manage to capture on film. I'm too busy soaking them up. Sounds like you're the same.
Nice Stash Otter - did that sound pervy? LOL
Have a wonderful time and remember "If you haven't, you Otter!"

I love all that Dave yarn. I just sat at my computer and stared at it for a couple of minutes. A lot of loveliness to look forward too.
