The sun was up the spring breeze was blowing, so we took a short road trip to Valley, Nebraska to visit an amazing wool shop and lady Janice Lee. She runs Black Horse Antiques and the Wool Rug Hooking Shop.

Met another neat shopper lady/kindred spririt wool lover named Kathleen from Waterloo, NE.

It's so neat visiting these small local stores, it gives me a boost of inspiration to get back into the creative mode.

Valley is about 30 minutes from Omaha. Well worth a visit. We dropped some cash there, the wool selection and pattern choices are amazing.

In the fall, Janice is hosting a *hook in* at the lovely Lied Center in Nebraska City. See the website for details.
