A sweeter, gentler post.

After my pool and ripping posts, I've been looking for something nice to blog about. And then Carl, our UPS guy, walked in with a truckload (okay, a boxload, but still a lot) of Be Sweet bags.

Oh my, they are sooooo yummy. The star and heart bags are brand spankin' new. Here's a close-up:

For those of you who don't know, proceeds from Be Sweet products fund a variety of projects, from supporting high school training programs to empowering disadvantaged South African women. Plus their stuff is just real purdy.

Here is something else positive: Dawn!

Dawn has been seen in the store lately. She is always so positive and fun. She also used to live in NYC and the other day she gave me a tip about the only Asian food restaurant in Tulsa that she feels measures up to NYC standards (New Hong Kong on 11th, try the Singapore noodles but watch out, they're seriously hot). She has been a bit overwhelmed lately because she signed on for a bunch of online swaps and they all ended at the same time. But she did find time to make this Not Pedestrian Sock in Regia. Isn't it cute?

And here is another sweet gal, Judy, showing off the Blue Sky Sweater Socks she made in Blue Sky Sport Alpaca:

Here's a close-up:

She says they are incredibly comfy. I squeezed them and can attest that they were quite squooshy. Plus, hey, cables. And sport weight, so they're fast. Oh, I'm feeling soooo positive. But don't worry. It won't last forever.
