Tonight I decided to attack the sack of tangled yarn from the remainder of the skeins I’ve used up here. It took no effort on my part for it to become a real mess in the first place, but It was quite a chore getting it all untangled and useable again. It was tempting to [...]
These Nordquist kids are ready for winter now! They seem happy with their choices. I know the other grand kids will be wanting to know if I have plans to crochet them one, too. Yes! I will start on the Warrio’s next! They need to tell me what colors they want.
Yesterday I went with Brett & Kim & children to Lake Stevens to help Warren and his family move into their new home. On almost anyone’s list of fun things to do, “Moving Day” is probably close to the bottom in respect to the work involved. What a job! And Warren’s new house is three [...]
