Chicago and the surrounding towns are not much different than other towns. The size of the city does allow it to be a little more fashion forward than other places. I saw these shoes in a
Nordstrom in
Schaumburg, Illinois. I would have bought the white shoes with the abstract lines on them, if they had not been so expensive. I could not see myself wearing them, since they had such a high heel, but I was fascinated by the art that went into them.
Very interesting architecture with the old and not so nice right next to the elaborate.
I was fascinated by the red building that stood out among the more traditional colors.
All of my helpers have to pose with the Headless Wonder at some point - especially, if they go to a show with me. So here is Caitlin. She did a wonderful job of introducing beginners to the drop spindle and selling
batts.
Surprisingly, Caitlin and I did not get sick of one another during the four and a half days of
driving. We went to Chicago using the southern route and came back by the northern route. We were hoping to vary what we saw, but there were cornfields everywhere. We saw some gorgeous barns and pasture, but we both decided that the
Midwest was not for us.
Yesterday, Marc spotted this snake crawling up the Texas mesquite outside the front of our house. I looked online to see what kind of snake it was, but none of the sites were conclusive. This one was heading for the birds' nests. First time I have ever seen a snake in a tree!
I came home with several orders from Stitches Midwest. This one will ship in the
morning. It is lovely to be given artistic freedom. Sure makes the spinning go faster!

I saw a snake exactly like that on our street on my way to work this morning. Must be the right time of year for these guys! King snake? Ours was sleek and black and moved very quickly.
