Meanwhile….
While I was going through my traumatic evening last night… plans did continue and we did have our bonfire. Remember the Cat that came through this fall? This was a smaller pile she had left behind. It took a little doing, but they managed to set it aflame. I finally gathered myself together and went out to the…

Wool Passion
Last November… yes, LAST November… as in 2010… I started Vernon’s Christmas present, a wonderful wool saddlepad, instructions shared by my friend, Linda, up in Alberta. I worked on it.
