one for each of my nieces for the history of the farm and 

family   (oy vey)

worth it

tops to be tied or quilted later on down the road

bags of scraps for ONE DOLLAR

longer loved as much

she said Hi from Heaven <3

got some of this fun yarn

and learned that it is quick to knit up

a project with it

had fun with Dad at the Fair in NH

funny I was with Dad and two of my brothers

and we saw every "guy"thing there

but none of them knew if there were quilts 

or canning or "girl" things displayed 

I still had a great time

until the drizzle kind of fizzled our fun

these guys were fun to watch

and there were TWO teams that were controlled

by GIRLS........one of them I swear was

50 lbs soaking wet but those horses didn't

give her any trouble at all!

kiddos
