This week my Wednesday Wishlist takes a personal turn. I didn't search the internet for any fabulous finds; instead, I searched within myself. You see, I've been a bit down lately, and anyone who's ever suffered even the mildest case of depression knows that no amount of money can buy happiness. So this is my list of personal desires that would bring enormous joy to my very heavy heart. :(
1. Children that behave.
2. People who don't judge others.
3. Eight hours of peaceful, restful sleep each and every night.
4. Yoga!
5. Neighbors who are neighborly instead of nosy and nasty.
6. A surprise email/text/call from an old friend.
7. Three words: I. Love. You.
8. Three more words: You. Are. Forgiven.
9. The cat's fur to grow back.
10. A genuine, meaningful hug.

Wednesday Wishlist: Sit & Spin
I recently learned how to spin my own yarn on a drop spindle. What a treat it is to take a fluffy pile of roving and transform it into beautiful yarn which I can then use to either crochet or knit whatever my heart desires. For this week's Wednesday Wishlist, I once again turn to my fellow Etsyans. I mean, how could I not? I sought out some of the most scrumptious spinning fibers Etsy sellers have to offer, and it's no surprise how many excellent picks I had to choose from. The talent pool on that site has me forever in awe! Please show their shops some love by right clicking on the links to open in a new window.

Wednesday Wishlist: Road Trip!
I am and always will be a Midwestern girl. Born and raised in Chicago, The Windy City will forever hold a special place in my heart. But sometimes I get the desire to blow this town for a while, when I hear the call of the open road. Load up the car and just take off down the highway. There's a freedom in taking a road trip that I find positively exhilarating. This week's Wednesday Wishlist highlights points North, South, East and West of Chi-town. All are accessible by car, and every one of these fine destinations would make for one fabulous road trip. Won't you travel with me?
Up North to Alberta, Canada
Down South to Kentucky, USA
Head East to New York City, USA
Go West to Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA
