The Ya-Ya Sisterhood And More

Well, I am working as fast as I can to get two items completed before I head out to California. I am so excited. You know it is so nice to see and talk to each other on line via the iChat video program, but touching is so much nicer. And now since my sister, Scarlet, is melting away I feel as if I must hurry before there is nothing left to hug. I am dying to crush her in my arms it has been a while now since our last visit and I need a break from my routine, and a real time hug.

In the meantime I wanted to Thank her for this lovely gift she made to honor me and our relationship. I know that this center crochet decoration was not easy to make. It takes three rows to complete one round so I know that the stitches that were put into this gift was placed there with love. You have to love the pewter, scrolled artwork button that she used. I think it says it all. Our relationship has had many twists and turns but the love was always there. It is a real beauty and I can't wait to bring it home and show it off. Thanks again, sister of mine.

Another treasure that she sent to me recently were these beautiful hooks. The set includes both the large and small size hooks. And they are so pretty it makes me proud to show my hooks off. I have a lot of hooks and my collection grows almost as quickly as my pattern collection. I love Susan Bates over Boye and sis knows this, so these are Susan Bates. Who could ask for better tools to work their craft with. These are really special but I have used them already and love them. Thanks for these also sis. You always give me the nicest things.
