That's OK. Tears are good for us. I think our souls are closer to the surface when we cry. That is why grief makes the world feel so close and our senses so raw in grief. I think tears put our egos to sleep for a little while. Connie

Lately, I have been knitting dish cloths. I have also gathered a lot of t-shirts and other fabric that need to be cut in strips for rugs. Guess that is what I will be doing today since it is snowing and I can't work in the yard.

I am going to put up my little portable greenhouse and start planting my seeds. I also am going to get some loom work in!

Ohhh loom work! What are you making Elaine? I used to use towel strips to make rag rugs for the bathroom.
Smiles! Carla

Tonight I cut out an entire stack of hearts...to make into Heart Yo-Yo's. One of the Farmgirls who makes aprons sent me an entire box of wonderful fabric scraps for free. What a Sweetheart...so, I am just going to have to send her a surprise pkg very soon...as a thank You! You can't let a kindness like she did...go un-appreciated.
Blessings, ~peggy

Hi Sharon...this is where I found a free pattern for Heart Yo-Yo's and learned how to make them.
pennysanford.typepad.com > Heart YoYo Free Pattern
or just google Heart YoYo Free Pattern.
Warning...they are habit forming!!!! Addictive to tell the truth! :+)
YoYo your Heart Away Girlfriend!

I just got a farmgirl white cotton jacket cut out that will be covered in antique laces & then dyed a soft yellow color to go with the pantaloons I made earlier & am wearing right now under a skirt!....just got in a huge order of laces so between last weeks order & this I now have at least a few hundred yards of different laces to work with.......its been rainy since last night & my water barrel is 1/2 full of rain water already....hopefully the sun will soon shine again so I can get out there & make my lye from the wood ash & rain water for soap. Never have done it so it should be a great experience learning something new.....Michele'

Hello Everyone!! I am so happy to sit and read all the wonderful things all of you have been doing. The pictures are terrific and all of you are a great inspiration!!

I have a blog and have just set up a new twitter account to keep in touch with everyone. If your interested in seeing what I have been up to, feel free to head over an read my blog ( complete with pictures) and if you wish to know when I have a new posting, sign up for a twitter update.
Here are a couple of pictures to share, the apron was a barter I did and the bonnet is part of a set that I just finished:

My friend Karen just got three little chicks and so I made a sign for her coop~to~be. For the past week or so I've been working on chicken coop signs and listed them in my sharnymcclarny etsy store.

ADORABLE SHARON! Which one is for Karen? They are all so sweet! Hey did you find the Heart Yo-Yo pattern. I would love to send you a few I have made up to get you started and to use for crafting if you would like. Just let me know.

I did find the heart yo~yo pattern Peg. But I had trouble printing it out??? Would you send me one? Here is the sign I did for Karen ... Its wood gleaned from the Spokane River after a spring flood left it on the bank. The river is super high again this year so should be a goldmine of driftwood out there in a month or two. Can't wait to go scavenging!

I am working on too many projects...just finished a 1/2 apron, doing a counted needlepoint project, a large Disney cross-stitch, just started a sock and the Great American Aran Afghan and knitting a shawl. That is probably just a start, I also have lots of UFOs to use up. Can't seem to do just one type of project at a time. Oh yeah, also working on a Grandmother's flour garden hexagon quilt top, stitching by hand...not too far on that one yet!

Those signs are adorable. Tammy I am kind of like you with lots of things going on. I just finished another apron. I have a quilt ready to be quilted, one that I am working on, two pirate dolls being made, scrapebook pages to do and I am sewing some quilts for the dogs at the local dog shelters. Like you I can't seem to do just one type of project at a time. Somehow the doll making and designing keep coming into my like as does the textile art work. It's all so much fun.
