Recurring Yarn Store Dreams

I would love to own a yarn store.  The yarn, the knitting, the fellow knitters, owning my own business, being my own boss.  What always brings me to a screeching halt is the part where I have to take a leap off of a cliff, quit my job, be ready to earn no money for 1 year (optimistically) or more (most likely).  I even have a great location for the store picked out.  I came very close to making this happen 2 years ago but chickened out after a lot of work on the business case.  It hasn't actually popped up in my head as much lately but is starting to again.  Maybe someday I'll make it happen.

In the meantime ... must finish my projects.

I was looking through some photos this morning and came across this one.   It's a quilt that I made for my niece a couple of Christmases ago - this is the same niece who expects a sweater for Christmas.  It is actually the project that got my quilting revitalized (or increased the obsession, not sure which).  It was very easy to make and we had just come back from Africa when I saw the fabric so knew it was a sign.  I loved it so much, I almost kept it for myself!
