glad to read about this – I have mail chimp – well and 5 subscribers so won't be changing anytime soon but good to know

::sheepish grin:: I feel a lot more sorted.

To top things off, I'm able to pick up a small amount of two of my usual bases (even the one that annoys me) so that I can have a nice assortment for consignment that's separate from what's listed online, without placing a heeyooge wholesale order. Trying to keep those straight has always driven me…[Read more]

Your account of dealing with the farmers made me smile, @barbara-kish. I think what you did in those emails actually was marketing – telling your people why they should work with you.
You sound a lot more sorted, now. That's great!

@patti-robinson, congratulations for the award!

@barbara-kish, I like the idea of easing over to your preferred yarns as you see out of old stuff, and can afford to move ahead.

Yes, 5/21 works for me!

And a walk sounds lovely!

What time?

sounds good. Let's talk when we get closer.

@c-c-almon Yes indeed tomorrow always can be better!

@jill-wolcott, that would be wonderful, thank you! I have the information and stuff, just not the technical part to make it happen. And May would be just fine…certainly after the 18th, which is my last spring concert. 😛

@barbara-kish I can help with the ad when you get to it–as long as it is in May, not April.
