New friends, gifts and sold a hat! Having a variety of friends is wonderful. Everyone brings something different to the table. Good for you!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-82783706072144364822010-12-02T20:21:28.284-08:002010-12-02T20:21:28.284-08:00You're hats are really nice!

I think of you each time I use your soaps - so much like the ones I used to do. I love it!<br />I do hope you got Sven's fleece back again and have had a ball utilizing it in your spinning/weaving/knitting! I'm starting up doing things again (after all the thyroid issues these last few months). I do hope Mr. Charlie is still Snoopervising!<br />Now, on to more catching up on your blog!!!!!!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-90814765550149573562010-12-02T10:33:36.397-08:002010-12-02T10:33:36.397-08:00I noticed the multiple "toppers" on the ...I noticed the multiple "toppers" on the newest hat - how did that go?

I'm much more relaxed and am having fun even when I am cleaning and organizing around the house. <br />My husband did the housework and cooking for the 4 years I worked and he was retired and now it is time to deep clean and get the place back to organized. (How can a person know where to get something from a cupboard and not have any idea where to put it back after it is washed?)<br />I spend at least half my day doing my fiber loves and then split the rest of it into errands, cleaning, farm-y stuff, reading, and cooking. Toss in grandchildren and pets and it is a full life.<br />Yesterday I volunteered at the library and the went to knit night at the Meadow Farm Yarn Studio. It is a great group of people. So far I have all the socialization I need.<br />I read your blog faithfully (also Hilary's - I bought a looper loom right off the bat) and am thinking of starting one of my own. My hold-up is taking time to learn how to do photos and links. I'm too busy having fiber fun to get around to it.<br />Yea retirement!!!weavinfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479719533728863947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-17973064994842523882010-12-02T08:26:04.824-08:002010-12-02T08:26:04.824-08:00What a great post!

I love the way a steady diet of natural colors will bring out the lime green and hot pink in yarn buying!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16308570073032398834noreply@blogger.com
