I loved all the articles you made there. I wish I lived by you then you could teach me. We would sit and knit all day and rush to get supper on. What fun that would be! :)

Thank you for being my friend.

At 4:42am on September 27, 2011, cellogirl said…: Thank you so much for your encouraging comments!! Hope that you are well and having a nice Fall? Our drought was ended about a week ago--a lovely rain, soft, soaking that lasted a day and a half. The wild fires took a terrible tole and the forests are thinned with dead trees all over. It also devastated agriculture and wildlife--so, it will take years to recover. Our temperatures are back up, but Fall is in sight and it won't be much longer for the 100+F temps. Wish we could send some sun and heat your way, I hear that it's been a cold and rainy summer?? Besti wishes--

We've had it horribly hot and dry this summer--we're waiting for a Tropical Storm to go into land soon--we'd appreciate some nice gentle rain but the TS usually give a deluge, so hope that we get a nice band of rain and that's all!!--picky aren't we!!

Hope that you got a bit of warm and sun this summer--best wishes!!

At 10:11am on August 1, 2011, cellogirl said…: Thank you, Janice for the beautiful August Angel--she's beautiful, the sentiments are lovely, and the flowers are wonderful!!--thank you!!

We'd be glad to send you some warm!! We absorbed the Tropical Storm Don--totally sucked in by our heat and drought--the poor farmers!! Blessings--

At 11:20am on July 31, 2011, cellogirl said…: Thank you, Janice--it's much too much fun designing the yarn and the sweater!! Thanks for the compliment--hope that you're doing fine? We got a few sprinkles with the tropical storm Don, were hoping for more, but we'll take what we get!! it's so dry that Don just disappeared when it hit landfall!! Best wishes--

At 5:33am on July 8, 2011, cellogirl said…: Thank you Janice, for the gracious comments about my new posts--great fun projects both. Yes, I'm enjoying the spinning--it's fun to design a project from the fiber to completion!!

Visited the GK in Austin and stopped by a fantastic yarn, spinning, weaving shop in a very small town--I caught the spinning bug with the beautiful colored tops she sells!! Dusted off my wheel I hadn't used in 40 years--it's like riding a bike!! having great fun. Finished a sweater in sock yarn and with the 2 skeins left, am knitting socks to match--great fun!!
