I think I'm ready for Stitches West...

...let's see:

• Stash Inventory list printed? Check!
• Market floor map annotated? Check!
• Shopping list made? Check!
• Class materials gathered? Check!
• Homework done? Check!
• Project to work on during down times? Check!

The only thing left to do is transfer money into my craft account. When I first started attending Cross Stitch Festivals 10 years ago, I discovered that the easiest way for me to control my spending was to put money in a separate checking account and only use that account for market purchases—when I'm out of money, I am done buying. This method works well for Stitches, too. Anyway, I'll go to the bank in the morning.

I'm looking forward to the Ravelry meet-up (which is the first event for me this year). I'd love to connect with other Ravelers in the area!

Open. Open. Open!
