I'll be back.

Hello old and new friends. My blog has been inactive but I am still around. I loom-knit, weave and have picked up the sticks to needle knit, too! My patterns page links to Ravelry and I will answer questions about those. Maybe someday I will be back to write more. We will see where life takes me.

Friends with benefits

I hope crafty cleverness rubs off on friends. Because mine ooze talent — and generosity. So I hope to grow as a person and a crafter during every Friday Night Knitting Club. Here are just a few tangible examples of their kindness ...

I am forever in her debt in the friend bank but I gave her a small token of my thanks tonight.

Mother Nature has been a friend, too. Here are some of her latest gifts to our backyard.

    I love little mushrooms! They are always so adorable, I can see why the Celts believed dancing fairies left them!

    It seems you have wonderfully giving friends. :) I really love your photos...very artistic and "right in the moment"! I feel like a little lady bug watching the scenes first hand. ;)

    Too bad the mower has had his way with the mushrooms since then.

    Thanks Bethany! I think I'm lucky to have such great friends!!
