I don't plan to continue this blog, but there are a number of ways to keep in contact with me (if you're so inclined!). Some options are via my Etsy site, my Flickr page (see link on sidebar), Ravelry (username robynsnest77) and Facebook. If you would like my personal email address, just leave me a comment!<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />Robynrobyn's nesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03675779617487764197noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840117866080878057.post-57372170094970201032008-06-13T10:26:00.003-05:002008-06-13T10:31:41.778-05:00Swooning Over a Sweater<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7YpaW8cmnKTkmb0X5g-cXr-IY6src3MILir_qkEAI0ZG-ENhzGS9WLKfctccm__jP54dsC37jBAqAOWjx37hePpz9hydeFOITN41owP_Jvxc4DntZB4MXfwadKtz1VCq87qMXpJrCT1k/s1600-h/green+sweater.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211388015988771458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7YpaW8cmnKTkmb0X5g-cXr-IY6src3MILir_qkEAI0ZG-ENhzGS9WLKfctccm__jP54dsC37jBAqAOWjx37hePpz9hydeFOITN41owP_Jvxc4DntZB4MXfwadKtz1VCq87qMXpJrCT1k/s320/green+sweater.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The other day, I saw this sweater while catching up on my Craftzine blog reading.

I read about it in the Houston Chronicle yesterday, and I was excited to see their collection of daylilies. What I did not realize was that you can pick out the ones you like, have one of the Shimek clan dig them up, and purchase them! If you have the chance to visit, I recommend it highly! The gardens were stunning, and the family is incredibly friendly. Here are some photos from their incredible gardens:<br /><br /><div>Looking down the rows of daylilies!<br /><a

What do you think?<br />I often see really cute graphics in others' shops and blogs, but they either have much better graphic arts experience or know some talented people! Maybe I'll break down someday and hire someone to create a custom logo for me. I suppose that's something to ponder further in the future!
