Hello Dear Friends!
It seems I am making progress and getting a few things done! We are snowbound right now... and that helps!
Lately, I have been spending lots of time just mindlessly crocheting. I do it in the evenings while watching TV... I do it during basketball practice... I do it during piano lessons. Honestly, I am getting bored with it... but I still keep doing it. Who knows why?
Here are another Baker's Dozen of dishcloths/Spa cloths... and another Spa Glove...
I'm not really sure what I will do with all of these... but I'm thinking they will make GREAT gifts!

Recently, my dear friend Ginger hosted a giveaway on her blog. She gave away this wonderful needlepunch kit... that she designed... and sells on her website ~ Prairie Moon Primitives... along with oodles of other great patterns, kits, and yarns! (She sells on Etsy too... here is her shoppe.)
Friends... working this kit up was JUST WHAT I NEEDED! Last night when I punched this piece... and I did it ALL IN ONE EVENING! ... I felt like I was on CLOUD NINE!!! Ginger, thank you for sharing the kit. Thank you for the wonderful gift! I loved working it... and I know I will be punching away this evening too!
Ginger dyes some awesome threads. She includes them in her kits. They are they same thickness as DMC floss... but they are a soft, spiral of wool (or something that feels like wool). You should give them a try if you haven't already.
Before I draw up another pattern though... I have a work space set up in our storeroom to slap some paint on my recently aquired junk finds. *GRIN*
It is a little cramped in here...
And a little chilly too...
But I'm going to make it work... and make some more finishes.
Wishing you all warm smiles...
