Remember this?

Well, here’s what it is:

I’m ready to punk out tonight.
The Mohawk Hat came from this book. 

It has inspired me to make this hat for my son in 2007. But he has no use for it other than Halloween, which he now declares is only for young kids. The hat has been sitting around collecting dust. So I [...]

This was taken during a trip to Sahalie Falls area last year.
From  Sahalie Falls, hiking down to Koosah and Tomalitch Falls, one would not notice this freak of nature.

Finally!
Buttons sewn on.
Shrugs sent off to Mom and OS (Oldest Sis) yesterday.

Now, I’ll just finish YS’ (Youngest Sis) red shrug this weekend and it already has buttons waiting to be sewn on. Buttons are totally different from the ones on my Mom’s and OS’ shrugs.
Also, I finished My Precious’ afghan over the weekend. Right now, [...]
