'Crochet keeps our hands busy so our minds can rest. It is a gift to help quiet the world around us, if even for a moment. To create -- and think of those we create for --is a quiet prayer of hope, love and dreams all wrapped up in a hook, a book and a ball of yarn. Author Anonymous. Thanks Cynthia.

Well Traveled


Good Evening All  SIBOL-ETTES

After a long, long wait.

Your squares have finally arrived in my garden.

From dear friend and very
FIRST FOLLOWER
Mrs. Twins/Sue

Did you know I was her very
FIRST FOLLOWER

But, I started two days before her.
We spent many a nights emailing back and forth figuring the whole blog thing out.
The rest is history.

She sent me 25 square to help put together a SIBOL blanket
I was thrilled.


I can barely contain myself when I look at all this wonderful

PURPLE

And for those who know me well,
yes, it has it's name.

PURPLE RAIN
{prince}

Do you see yours?

The wild things is these squares are very well traveled.
From all over the world to the UK and then onto
my garden on the outside of CHICAGO.


The good news is I have some wonderful white superwash yarn arriving this week.

I can't wait to get out my
PURPLE DYES
and have a go. 


Be sure to pop over to my garden to have a visit
and see how this is coming along. 


Thanks goodness they arrived safe.
I don't think Sue got any sleep while they were in transit.

Good Night, My Friend, Sue
and Sleep Tight.
