A Tremendous Simple Day at its Finest

Today was such a fun day.

Sam came over and we started our day at SAS Fabric, which is a super affordable fabric store in Phoenix. I bought sequins, thread, fabric, etc. to spin into my yarn. Next, we headed off to Michael's in search of a purse handle for a cable bag that I knit. Instead of finding a purse handle, we discovered that ott lites were 50% off! Such a wonderful thing for my knitting and spinning! We stopped at Ulta and grabbed some hair dye for Sam to color and cut my hair.

Next, we had lunch at Cheese N' Stuff. Who doesn't love this place? After all, they have lots of cheese. That's when the fun really began. My friend let me foster one of her Blythe dolls, Clever. Clever and I did a little clothes shopping last night and Sam and I took the opportunity for a photo shoot. She even asked the owner of Cheese N' Stuff to put Clever in the deli case so she could pick out her own chips.

Then, we stopped at Sally's for some styrofoam heads for Sam's husband to paint. Next stop - Bead World. I gotta say they have a great selection of beads, but the customer service sucks. They were so uninterested in us. Totally oblivious to the fact that they had customers. I may have spent money here, but didn't because the girls working there could have cared less about making a sale.

We had to swing over to Mesa for a few moments and got a chance to stop in at "Inside the Bungalow" for the best iced tea ever. It was a red rooibos tea with cinnamon, so yummy. We stopped in at Bookman's to see if there were any used knitting/spinning books and we didn't find anything.

Went back to my house and Sam cut/color my hair. It is so fabulous. I actually look my age now. I hadn't gotten my hair done since April and I have been used to getting my hair done every 5 weeks for the last nine years. It's amazing what a box of dye can do.

We ended our evening at TYF spinning and knitting. I bought some electric blue mohair to spin and ply with the sequins. I also navajo plied my first full skein of yarn.

Such a lovely day. Just tremendous... really.
