A very Harlot kind of evening
July has been quite exciting around these here parts.
(The cats share in all the excitement).
I spent a week in Tulsa with the Royal School of Church Music.
I passed my two year blogiversary (Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm a blogger.)
We had a wedding and a patronal feast at St. C's--all in the same weekend.
And last, and most certainly not least, the Metro OKC Knitters' Guild and Gourmet Yarn hosted Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, known to the

The cake was not finished. Three hours before we had to be in our seats at the library, awaiting the entrance of the Harlot, and the cake wasn't done.

The words "free full-size sheet cake" are very pleasant to the ear.
Even more pleasant to the ear:
I had to stop pinching myself. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee was in Oklahoma City? She is, in person, even more delightful than her blog and a keen observer of the life of knitters.
Don't be frightened. We're pretty well-behaved as long as we have yarn and pointy sticks in our hands.

I haven't even read your post yet and had to comment - I saw yesterday where Harlot was going to be on your stomping grounds and wondered if you were going to "the event" - now I will go back and read your posting.
Ok, I'll admit - I'm jealous.
You're famous - you got a link on Harlot's page. Watch out site meter.
:)
Thanks for helping organize the event. It was a great time!
Thank you so very much for helping to organize the event, event indeed. What a truly wonderful very Harlot kind of evening. I am still giddy.
Twas awesome, wasnt it?
And that free cake was pretty awesome, too! :)
Thanks for all your hard work.
It was quite a night, wasn't it? We had a blast, and you guys did a great job. We Okies know how to throw a party!
Are you still thinking about learning to spin? :<)
Thank you thank you! I'm so glad you guys were able to get it together to bring her to OKC.!
The cake was very cute!
Found you from Rosemary's site. What a great night! Thanks for all your hard work.
Wow, how fun! I'm so jealous. I couldn't get there because my lovely husband was in Canada and I had no one to watch the kids.
Lucky, lucky you! How FUN!
sounds like a lot of fun, even after the frustrations.
My excuse for missing the event was helping my daughter move to Seattle, also exciting.
see you soon!
I love this picture and your comment about being happy with pointy sticks. :)
