Sometimes you can bite off more than you can chew. You know the feeling. Oh, sure! No problem. I can wash 10 cars in one day, by myself. Not! We all have to know our limitations. But we also need to know how to make the most of what we can do.

So, if my goal is to offer 5 different yarns in 10 color ways, I'm going to have a hard time keeping stock in ALL of them. So, I offer to custom dye the yarn bases. These can be in my colorways, or I can make one up for you. See? I went from keeping close to 100 skeins dyed at any one time to keeping maybe a dozen at a time. Of course, there is a down side to that. I don't have a good excuse to "use up" all that extra yarn on my projects. <sigh> Oh!! I know! I can "make Christmas presents". OK, so a couple of them might be a present for me. That's OK, too. Sometimes we have to do something for ourselves. You matter, too! Don't ever forget that.
As for Christmas presents, maybe I'll wait and see which relatives drools over which color. That's a pretty good sign that it would be a great match and very much appreciated. The greatest gift we can give another person is to care enough to notice the little things. What foods do they like, colors, temperature in the car, it's all part of the jigsaw puzzle that makes up each person.
Until next time - pamper yourself a little and do something nice for someone else, too.
