Mother's Day 2011

Wendy Solberg - Tuesday, May 10, 2011

If you have been around our shop and me, you know that I adore my parents. As we just celebrated Mother's Day - obviously the focus here is Mom! I am blessed to have such a great Mom who is also a great friend. I simply love her a ton. It is probably not a shock that Mom and I talk each day - maybe more than once.

For her day, we did our routine Sunday morning "work" at the shop - sharing knitting patterns and ideas, paying shop bills, and generally just having a great time together. Dad was good enough to watch the shop on Sunday afternoon so we could pop out to Welfare Cafe for a late lunch - and it was yummy! Here is a picture of Mom out back at Welfare Cafe. (It was a hot one!) Doesn't she look great?!

On Mother's Day at the shop, we also had other wonderful mothers/daughters/sisters enjoying the time together. This is a great shot of two close sisters - and one had just received their new gift of a scarf out of Noro Kuryeon! Gotta love the connections of women.

As always, there is always extra love around for our kitties.... As usual, Noro is a camera hog, and just so darn cute! Here is a shot of him in his favorite new spot (now changed) where he can be close to the front door to be able to greet visitors (when he is awake).... This was a "naughty kitty" event that was captured - as a good employer he was counseled on laying on the yarn....

And another of him looking all beautiful in the front window. This shot was snapped as Mom and I returned on Sunday. You cannot help but smile! BTW - the new sweater in the window was just finished by Mom. Super cute and easy in Classic Elite's Provence. I have one too in pink!

Then...drum roll...we have a new addition to The Tinsmith's Wife family. She is shy - but quite a lovely lady... Lily Langtry! This little girl has had a rough life - but she seems pretty happy now. Don't be surprised if you don't see her as she is a bit shy.
