Mis pinturas predilectas de Georgia O'keefe...

There are so many to choose from, I find it hard to single out just one of Georgia's paintings.

So, I've narrowed it down to a few, and I'll give a brief rave of each.

"Jack in the Pulpit IV"

Rich dark petals bring a feeling of comfort & security...soft blue center of fire reminds me that my sole is strong.
~Yo me siento vivo/I feel alive~

"Pansy 1926"
My daughter, who's nickname is "Ladybug", this painting sums up her unique personality. She has a deep, rich and fighting spirit on one end, and a fun, loving, and free exuberance on the other, both compliment the other
. ~Yo me siento amor para mi hija y la apreciación para el regalo de la paternidad/I feel love for my daughter and appreciation for the gift of parenthood~

"Nature Forms 1932"

This reminds me of a dance, the way all the earths elements move in rhythm together, creating a landscape for life to thrive. ~Yo me siento como las respuestas a la vida tienen razón delante de mí pero todavía no contestado/I feel like the answers to life are right in front of me but still unanswered~
"Autumn Leaves 1924"

My favorite and most eagerly anticipated time of year.
I'm at my happiest, and peacefulness with nature during
this time. I absolutely find true inspiration with all
the rich colors that burst out. It's the muse of nature.
~Yo me siento como puede hacer algo y quiere hacer todo/I feel like I can do anything
and want to do everything~

There are so many more, but I had to pick the few I absolutely admire. I hope this post wasn't too long, I can't wait to see
everyone's posts on Georgia O'Keefe *-)

I couldn't help but get started!

My package arrived yesterday. I love everything about it. The pattern looks like a lot of fun, and the yarn is super soft and beautiful. I haven't tried this particular yarn yet, and that just made it even more exciting for me!

As soon as I got home, I wound that yarn into a ball and got started! I can't wait to get home tonight and work on it some more.

Thank you so much, Jen! I'm so glad I joined the sock club this year, and I think I'm going to be a Woolgirl Sock Clubber for life!

My 1st Woolgirl Sock Club shipment!!!

I got the best welcome home yesterday, my Woolgirl Sock Club shipment was nestled nicely next to my plant at my front doorstep *-) It immediately gave me the nostalgic feeling of opening presents at Christmas time!

I plan to cast on for my socks today, just need to visit my LYS to get the right needles. I really love the color, and the subtle hue of blue, so pretty! I'm thanking myself up and down for joining, especially since this is my first year *-) I love all the extra goodies, and can't wait to use the Woolgirl Tote to stash my socks in progress, and the wonderful note cards, I can send notes to my fellow knitters out there!

Jealousy!! Muahahaha!!

I caused it as planned! I got home yesterday and found my white box awaiting my arrival on my back stairs. I grabbed it as I ran off to knit night with my girlfriends. When I walked in the door with my box in tow, unopened they all asked, "What is that?" I replied, "My first shipment from "The Woolgirl Sock Club." The look on their faces were priceless. My one friend says, "I know I am going to be kicking my self for not joining this year, now OPEN IT!" When I did, the room fell silent. Then all of them shook their heads and said, "I knew I should have signed up!!!!!" They all "Oooooood" and "Ahhhhhhhhhd" at my beautiful new yarn that was all mine. And the lovely new pattern that was designed perfectly just for it. And of course, Jen's thoughtfulness as always with all of her cute little "extras". I love all of it. I can't wait to get started. This year is going to be awesome.

Great Mail Day!!!

Just opened my box and all I can say is WOW! Totally wonderful, can't wait to start knitting!

IT'S HERE!!!!

OH MY GOD! I am so glad I joined this year - this one box makes it totally worth it! I won't spoil it for everyone - I just had to say: Jen genius, absolute genius! The colors are my all time favorite and the pattern looks awesome! I can't wait to get started. Sad for me I have to wait til this evening to really dig in - I have to go wave it in a friends face first! hehehe. She didn't join!

The Boxes are on their way!

The boxes are finally on their way! All boxes were shipped out yesterday, so I'm assuming that some of you will receive your box today. Woo hoo!

You will notice in your box the details of the very first 2008 Woolgirl Sock Club Contest. The details indicate to post here with your answers. Please do not post yet. I will soon have a special section where you can post your contest answers, without spoiling the sock club details for everyone else. I will announce when that link is active (which will be soon)!

Thanks so much everyone! Hope you enjoy your boxes this week!
Jen
