We lost our beautiful Punky girl Thursday morning. It was not exactly expected, but her health had been declining for some time. We don’t actually remember when Punky came into our lives.

For years, I have wanted a yarn winding station. Somewhere I could set up my swift and winder and just leave them up. But it just hasn’t been practical for one reason or another. But finally, my yarn winding dreams have come true! Ta Da!! Recently I was thinking about maybe getting a sawhorse of… Continue reading Dream Come True
