Friends

the hand warmers I made a few days ago

I knitted for a very special friend

a blog friend to be precise

Molly from beautiful birdie blue


we were lucky to meet her and her wonderful husband and daughters

they were all so sweet and we were very happy to meet all together


we unexpectedly exchanged beautiful gifts

I made the hand warmers and little crochet flowers for the daughters


and she surprised me with a beautiful package

full of craft material with endless possibilities


so generous

so beautiful

and the glass blue bird paper press will get a special spot in my craft room


thank you Molly and family

we are lucky to have you as our friends!

  1. You are back already. Boo-Hoo, it's going up to close to 60 today. But, glad you have a fabulous time visiting our Windy City. You know it's not called the Windy City because of the winds. It's the politics..he-he...Love all you colors today.
