Danube River Cruise Vacation Part 1: Planning and Getting to Munich
Over a year ago we made plans with Wayne’s two sisters and their husbands to go on a Viking River Cruise to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary.

Spring Fiber Day is usually the same day asContinue reading “Spring Fiber Day 2024”

I like knitting for my granddaughter, who was born last summer. One problem is that usually I have no idea how old she is going to be when a particular item will fit. I knit two baby size hats using the same pattern, one tiny and one bigger. I was not necessarily trying to achieveContinue reading “Baby Hats”
Structo Artcraft Loom
I friend of mine was helping clean out a storage room at her church. It was packed with crafting supplies that had not been used in a long time, including a table top weaving loom. She sent me a photo of the loom and asked if I wanted it. YES! I wanted this vintage fourContinue reading “Structo Artcraft Loom”
