I remember as a child I always loved to do some sort of handiwork and learned to do any and all from my mom as we grew up in upstate NY. I loved to design my own pieces and my favorite to this day was making the 3 Wise Men from a picture I saw in a magazine. I drew them out on a piece of paper and making each piece separately I sewed them onto a piece of wool felt and then beading and stitching them each one by one! My dad mounted them each onto a piece of cedar and I still have them to this day! Sewing, knitting, crochet and even darning socks I learned as a child and still love them all (except the darning the socks! now I prefer to knit them or buy new ones!!) Spinning and knitting are my main loves right now and I am thankful I learned a lot as I grew up! I spin and knit to relax and am always working on something. Now that we have 3 granddaughters I hope to be able to teach them some of my favorite things as well as make them gifts!! Isn’t that what it’s all about!
