I’m reminded by my favorite blogs that pictures enhance posts.  I do have a cheapo digital camera but often forget to take it anywhere with me.  The last time either Dave or I remembered to take a camera on a trip was when we went to Catalina Island last March.  Okay, not entirely true because I did take the camera to my Grandmother’s 90th birthday party in October.  Have I developed the film?  Of course not!

Today, however, I’ve felt like sharing a bit: my garden and this lovely wall hanging my mother made for us for Christmas!  As I’ve mentioned before, I don’t know how to sew

Crosswallhangingdespite having been raised by a woman who can produce these kinds of masterpieces.  However, notice the crocheted afgan in the background of this photo.  I made it!  Yes, I too, have a craftsy skill I can be proud of!  It’s been at least 10 years since I’ve crocheted and I don’t have any intention of picking it up again soon but when I want to, I have the skills.
