hot…
hot! we just got back from the plant nursery where we got some flowers for the front yard. i am waiting to cool off, then i am going back outside to plant them. we got mostly purple with black, plum, and yellow accents.
when we got home there was a fedex sticker on the door. i thought i had missed the shipment with my beginners afgan kit! but it was in the bushes covered up by our doormat. silly fedex people.
i opened it up expecting to see the pretty black and purple yarn, but it was all white. the instructions said “afgan and pillow for intermediete blah blah blah” with nothing saying HOW to crochet. though the sitcker on the plain plastic bag and my invoice said the right thing. i looked online and sure enough, they sent the wrong one. and now the right one is out of stock! i hate you michaels! now i have to bring it back to the store next time we go to the pobox. feh!
