More time ago than I’d like to admit, I started knitting the handtowels from the Mason Dixon ladies’ first book. This is one of those projects that I don’t have to hide away in my studio to work on, or…
2010 Year of Pleasures #5
This picture is left over from last week, but it brings me so much pleasure I had to share it. Aside from the great company that hosting a get together brings, my favorite part is all the party food leftovers.…
