Yea! My yarn from over seas came in yesterday, and I can resume stitching on my granny square skirt.
i feel quite lucky that I was able to find this yarn at all since I bought it from a Bernina shop in Jerusalem. Have you ever seen a shopping bag from Jerusalem? Here it is.
That alphabet really looks unreadable to me. Somehow we share the joy of a common love, sewing and crochet. It’s such a small world!
I am on the road , AGAIN! My parents both turned 80 this past year, all of my brothers and sisters bought them a trip and are joining them on a vacation. We haven’t all been on a trip together in over 15 years! We are all so excited:)
So… I am glad this yarn came in. Now I can hopefully finish this skirt on the drive. I think I can, I think I can!
I am stitching in the back loops of the stitches to give this great striped look.
This skirt is going to be based on this free pattern:
I am going to make it in a round and add a few inches. I think it is going to fantastic!
Thank you for dropping by my blog. I hope you have a SWEET weekend:)
It's a T-Sweets day! 
Hope you guys all have a wonderful trip. That will be a most precious memory for all of you, I’m sure.
Love DROPSDesigns! although I have to say, that skirt is quite a throwback to the 70s! 🙂 In all seriousness, your project is lovely and I’m looking forward to the photos that show the finished skirt.

As beautiful as that skirt is, I think the Bernina bag is the real gem! That totally has to be made into something.
