road trippin’
my beloved hubbie, s, had to make a trip to olympia earlier this week. it just so happened that emily and i needed shelving, and had agreed to go the ikea route, as our hookup for shelving fell through at the last minute. s graciously agreed to rent a trailer, borrow a truck, and head into the overwhelming insanity that is ikea for lil ole twisted.
we were sooo happy not to have to go up there - it’s a full day’s trip, and there is just so much to do at the shop. the next morning, he unloaded all 15 shelving units, and there they sat, practically stacked up to the rafters. em and i looked at each other, shrugged, and started tearing apart the boxes on the nearest unit. we couldn’t wait, even though dust has been flying, and in a short period of time, em and i had put an expedit shelving unit together. to mark this momentous occasion, we posed it with a gorgeous lil skein of woolarina’s wonderful sock yarn.
Looking good ladies!! I’m so excited.. I keep checking in on the progress!! Sending lots of deep breaths, coffee (good stuff, not Gevalia!), and oodles of organic muffins.

We are very disappointed to not be with you this weekend but feel that whatever will be will be /we will be there when the real day arrives and will help and support you as much as we can. Keep your smiles on your faces and all will be well.
Love and Kisses to you both

Your shelving looks great! Too bad the Portland Ikea isn’t open yet. Bleh.
Can’t wait to see your new shop! My optometrist mentioned months ago that “someone was planning on opening a knitting store next door” when he saw me knitting before my appointment. Ha, now I know that it is you!
Hi there,
Drat, you changed your opening date? It was set for my birthday (tomorrow) and I was going to come in. I look forward to your opening. I have a friend who owns a shop right on your block (Oh Baby Lingerie), and I know just where you are.
