Loooong Time, No Blog
My poor neglected blog! I’ve been assimilated into Facebook. While it fulfills those quick fixes it doesn’t lend it self well to the longer posts that I (infrequently) want to write. Like Now!

Mystery Bag of Fibery Goodness
Just sewed up this bag for tomorrow’s knitting group get together. You can see the side view here. The top and bottom seams are ninety degrees apart. Kinda neat! We’re having a ‘white elephant’ type of exchange. This bag is stuffed with fibery goodness. I have to admit I’m having separation anxiety already. LOL! It [...]
