I have only known about Stitches West for a little while. The first time I heard of it was last year when it had just ended. I did not know what it was called, only that it was a yarnaholics heaven. I have checked magazines and asked at LYS's, finally I found a group in Ravelry called Stitches West 2008. How exciting, finally I could go. I checked the web site and marked my calendar. I visioned the booths of yarn, needles, and accessories. I dreamt what I could make with the all the yarn that would call to me. Stitches is now over:( I did not make it.
Maya had a skin problem return from last year. Poor Maya is becoming a hairless Chihuahua again. I am taking her to the Vet that I grew up taking my pets to, after spending a small fortune last year at another Vet. I live in San Francisco and the Vet is in Napa. I had to take Maya to the Vet this weekend for a re-check. Any trip to Napa means I have to spend time with the Family, plus my son loves to visit. I was hoping to come home drop the kids off and head to Santa Clara to at least spend a little time, but realized that Maya's Vet bills have taken my yarn budget, and them some, for the year. What fun would Stitches be if I can't afford to buy anything.
DH talked me into going to WonderCon. It was his money and the my son is an Anime lover. The kids had a great time and DH bought me a couple of t-shirts, one Wonder Woman and one Betty Boop. Will post pictures soon.
Next year my mom, a non-knitter non-crocheter said that she will go with me to Stitches West so I will not have to go alone:0) Stitches West 2009 or bust!

Isn't she cute!
This is a little butterfly with her strawberry house. This is an adorable crochet pattern from anapaulaoli My dd put the beads on the top of the strawberry. I wanted to use different colors but she wanted the ones used in the pattern. DD gave this one to her friend, I hope they are happy together.
