I Have Returned

Hi everyone. You may have noticed that, although I have been updating my blog, I have been pretty absent from commenting and linking this last week. Well, I was on holiday and pre-scheduled my posts (I figured it wouldn't be the best plan to announce to the internet that my house was empty for a week *laughs*), but now I am back.

So, you might be wondering where I was...

That shiny hotel is Trump International, in Las Vegas *huge grin* Boyfriend had to go for a work conference, and had a couple of extra days out there thanks to the way the flights worked, so I decided to tag along. We were there for a week (there were a few days where I was by myself while he worked, but funnily enough I found plenty to do!)

I spent the first day wandering down the strip, checking out the hotels and casinos...

On one of the days boyfriend had free, we took a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon...

Before flying back down the strip at sunset:

Of course, I have many, many more pictures, but I don't want to overload you with them all at once *laughs* Suffice to say, I had an amazing time. I even took a trip to a yarn store... And it will come as no surprise that I bought some yarn!

I wanted to buy some Cascade yarn (I know it is a staple, basic yarn in the States, but it's hard to get hold of over here!) and the teal in the corner is Cascade Dolce. I had to buy sock yarn, to make Vegas socks *laughs* so the pink yarn is Tofutsies sock. Middle front is some gorgeous Merino Top, the yarn store (Wooly Wonders) caters to spinners and weavers as well as knitters and crocheters. The ladies in there made me feel very welcome, and invited me to return with my knitting next time I came to Vegas *smiles*

On the far right of the picture is some yarn I picked up in Walmart, Caron Simply Soft (which really is soft!) and Peaches and Cream dishcloth cotton (because it came to about 97p!)

So, that was a very quick summary of my trip *laughs* Now I need to turn my attention to my blog reader, which seems to have a lot of posts I've missed in the last week!
