I know this comment is a little late, but “life” happens, you know, and I’m a little behind in my reading.

I have a Louet Victoria and I just LOVE it. It is so little and cute and spins like a TOTAL dream!!! I set it up by the table next to my computer desk and when I’m done spinning, I can push it right under the table top. It spins sock weight yarn very well and has nice, large bobbins. You will love, love, love it!!!!!

My daughter is a Valentine’s baby too. She’s 5. I agree, the best Valentines gift ever. We made cake with mounds of pink frosting and sprinkles.

Many thanks for sharing the Julia’s Sugar Cookie recipe. The picture was so tempting I had to make them. So, I started them at noon and put the dough in the freezer to speed up the 4 hour or overnight instructions. They are baked and decorated at 4:37. And….they taste delicious!

Cookies and coffee for breakfast bad?? I hope not ’cause it’s Girl Scout cookie time and they plus diet coke will be my breakfast till they run out. (There’s no Krispy Kreme store in Reidsville.) I usually do my coffee mid morning and it’s frappe-ed.

Happy Birthday, KD, & Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Sheri, your handspun looks wonderful – not that I know anything about spinning, but the yarn is beautiful! I’m abstaining on the issue of whether you should carry wheels, since I will not be able to get one, because if I do, my dog will chew it up. (He loves to chew wood …in addition to many other types of items.) And WH does take the best pics of yarn I’ve seen anywhere online, hands down!

My favorite breakfast (after pie) is Dr Pepper and BBQ potato chips. FPS.

I think you need an Ashford Joy for Loopy Central. They are beautiful and versatile.

Your spinning looks very professional to me! I am very impressed. I think both skeins are lovely and I am almost imspired to put down the needles and pick up a spindle. Almost. Too many dream socks to knit first though!

My mom is in Chesterfield, so I get weather updates daily. I don’t know how you put up with all the temperature swings. Snow, sleet, rain–you’ve had it all this year!

Cookies are for anytime, especially the broken ones. Someone has to put them out of their misery. FPS? My DH birthday is the 13th. We generally celebrate that and not so much VD. We usually eat left over birthday cake for breakfast. No ice cream tho. Although, when I was a kid, my mother would occasionally put a small scoop of ice cream on hot oatmeal at breakfast. She said it was milk and sugar, and it cooled the cereal off so we could eat it. I really miss my mother, even tho she has been gone for over 14 years. If you carry wheels, I may be doomed. Doomed, doomed, doomed. I could only hope to become as profficient in such a short time. Happy Valentines Day.
