Practical Joke, Hate Crime, or Strange Coincidence?

Last evening after returning from CVS to buy medicine for Matt (yes he's sick Again!), I found the above pictured 1/2 sock on my front lawn. This sock is not my sock, and not a sock owned by Rachel's Thread, and I'd never seen it before in my life. It was only the top (ankle) part of the sock, and the other half looks like it was cut off with scissors... as if someone was preparing this top to be used in a sock scarf. I have no idea where it came from... or what it means ... or what to do with it. It is currently sitting on a chair on our front porch. Once it is thoroughly rain-washed, I plan to bring it inside and wash it in HOT water. Then what? No idea. This is the strangest thing that has ever happened to Rachel's Thread.

Nothing But Monday

It occurred to me yesterday that I have been taking an unplanned, unintentional and unannounced break from Rachel's Thread. If you placed an order in the last few weeks (besides Xmas orders), or emailed me about something, please FORGIVE me :) I should be back on track this week!

In other news, the next Punk Rock Scarf Party is set for February 8th at Underground in Smithville, NJ. Who is coming??? Last time everyone who came out was entered to win a free scarf, and anyone who didn't win got an awesome consolation prize, which in many cases was a cool pair of socks! I'll probably do the same thing again, but I'm not exactly sure, so there may be some surprises.

Completely un-related, but my hubby Matt is getting ready to start up his resume writing business, 5 Star Resumes. He has years of experience working for the department of labor, and he can write a pretty great resume. If anyone out there is looking for that, here is his email matchorno@comcast.net . I suppose once he gets things up and running he will get something @ 5starrsumes.com, but anyway.

On the subject of websites, I've been working on a new website, and though it's still under construction, I thought it would be ok to give everyone a preview: coachlewis.org

OK. That is all for now.
Have a great Monday <3 Rachel

Fall scarf excitement

Today Matt took 30+ scarves to work to have a little scarf show at his desk. He had a ton of interest and sold 4 scarves within the first hour! He said: "People are flocking around my desk!!!" (That's 3 exclamation points, which means alot from Matt). Well by lunchtime he got busted for selling something that wasn't for a fundraiser, so he had to hide the scarves away... But he managed to sell 11 scarves, and has a couple others set aside on reserve!! Go Matt :)
Here are the fall colored sock scarves that are hot off the sewing machine:
