HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!






Hello everyone! Well , let's start another one ! Hope we all stay healthy and have lot's of time for our family, friends and of course our passion of knitting, crocheting, sewing and whatever else it is you love to do. I decided this is the year to get some kind of organization in my craft room.......boy I wonder how long I can keep this one up :0) I am planning on knitting up the yarn I have stored all over my house ( I am not kidding it is everywhere ), and things I don't want anymore, will go on e-Bay, or will be donated. I have also joined a few Kal's on Ravelry to knit up this overwhelming yarn stash of mine :0) One of them is the Advent Calendar Mini Sock Kal, this will eliminate several of my smaller scraps. I want to show you the first 5 little ones I just posted on my Ravelry Project Page.
Enjoy this wonderful weekend wherever you are. LIFE IS GREAT !!!!

I beautiful gift.......




from a friend sooooo far away.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Ravelry. Those of you who are, know, what a great Internet Web Site it is. I belong to several Groups, one of my Favorite is the Tausendschoen Group. We had a Knitted Sock Exchange for Christmas.
My package came from Britta in Bonn / Germany :0)
I opened my package today ! And I just absolutely love it !!!! The Socks are gorgeous and fit perfect. I also got some grrrrrreat German Chocolate ( nothing better then German chocolate ), soap, hand lotion, jewelry to sew on socks, and a really cute Good Luck Gnome :0)
Thank you sooooooo much Britta, I LOVE IT !!!!!!!
