That’s what I am! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve posted!
So, what have I been up to these past few months? Too much to talk about here! I did get to Wildflower yarns and knitwear in Manhatten, KS. It’s a cute little shop with a good selection. I bought a couple of skeins [...]

Ohhh, another washcloth…

But this is a special washcloth. It’s going into a set of washcloths and bath supplies for my grand baby. I plan to get a baby tub (which is a lot more expensive than I remember!), soaps, shampoo, washcloths, towels, and other wash supplies to put in the tub. Her baby shower is next weekend [...]
