No vacation is complete without finding a yarn store to explore. This happened for me yesterday; just in the nick of time!
This small shop is chock-full of colorful yarns and the owner is so welcoming. I had to add to the local economy, so I bought yarn. I wish Juera Esther much success!
Oh, and I have been crocheting ALOT while here! Here is a sampling of the freeform motifs I have finished.
I sat in the plaza relaxing with a strawberry fruit bar (paleta), this dog was laid out in the traffic path sound asleep. Someone came along and petted him, so he decided to move and came near me to lay down again with his head up against my shoe. Cute!
This week I learned how to tell when a pineapple is ripe. Pull a leaf from the center top and if it is white and tender at the bottom, you can be sure to enjoy! I've eaten two whole pineapples this month. So delicious!
I took another picture of this plan because it has grown so and opened up this month.
Friday, my last full day, and Sheila & I went to "Tangled Threads" and annual fiber exhibit. It was mostly quilting and the talent was amazing. I bought an apron which I will photograph later since I already packed it. Nicely made by a women's coop, Tehehua; its a Day of the Dead theme which suits me just right!
This view of the mountains, from inside the fiber show, was particularly pretty today.
I brought Alan's hat along to shade my eyes from the sun. It has been nice to have him along with me on this adventure and to re-visit many of the favorite spots we enjoyed together in Ajijic!
I'll "talk" to you again when I'm stateside. Hasta pronto!
