I feel like I just got permission to crawl out from under a wonderful, but huge, rock. Because while the work is by no means done, I just finished the final draft of my book. Final draft being, yes, the oxymoron it appears to be. (As a writer, the word final always reminds me of Inigo Montoya; "That word, I do not think it means what you think it means.")
And speaking of that.
My grandmother called every kind of yarn "wool."
The above is a vintage blanket she knit. And in addition to vintage, I should add "will survive the apocalypse" because it is squeaky and crunchy as acrylic gets.
So....
I feel like I can be a good friend again, on this blog.
Maybe write on it, share some pictures and thoughts.
I will be so very happy if any of you are left to read it.
And...we have raised $700 so far for Stevanie and her kids! So cool. They are currently dressed for school in at least a few outfits they can rotate and wash and everything! You rock.
Still subscribed! That's the great thing about blog readers. :-)
Welcome back!

We are here and we will read. I have a similar grandma blanket, several in fact, that are oh-so acrylic-y.

glad that rock wasn't sooo huge that you couldn't get out again.

That is a lovely picture with the sun shining through the colors. Can't wait to see the new book; when is it due?

Still here!
And I have several lovely acrylic things my Granny crocheted for me, a shawl, some toddler size dresses...so what if it's acrylic, they hold up well and I've been able to pass them along. In fact, I like to sleep wrapped in my shawl on very chilly nights.
