LOL<br /><br />Sandra ~ I agree that it's nice to have something to show for your work. Writing is such a long process. I sometimes clean the bathroom just to have something to show for my work! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Alison Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698291307955889097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-50488723640355845962013-06-01T23:40:38.650-05:002013-06-01T23:40:38.650-05:00I can so relate, Alison. I used to do all kinds of...I can so relate, Alison. I used to do all kinds of different crafts before I took up writing. The only one I've done since is to make my granddaughter a flannel quilt for her first Christmas. It felt great to have something to show for a week of hard work...unlike a week at the keyboard! So excited to see your new book!Sandra Orchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236883194496601011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-53130933140787734912013-06-01T17:39:59.886-05:002013-06-01T17:39:59.886-05:00Alison, I think wedding cross-stitch would be good...Alison, I think wedding cross-stitch would be good for your younger two who didn't get birth ones. :)<br /><br />I hate to admit how many craft projects I started and never finished. My favorite story to tell, though, is about the sleeve of a sweater I knitted for my husband when we first married. I gave up after one sleeve and gave it to him on our first Christmas with a booklet I wrote called "101 Things to Do With a Sleeve." :)<br /><br />Congratulations on your first book!! I'm thrilled for you.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-83594401758939766052013-05-31T13:46:42.353-05:002013-05-31T13:46:42.353-05:00Rayne, I would be curious to learn what carpet kno...Rayne, I would be curious to learn what carpet knotting is.

I could see and sense the tranquility ooze from these women. For an instant there I wanted to go back to carpet knotting. Sad to say, I like a lot of us, let too many things get in the way of what I really enjoy. But then I enjoy writing, too. It's a Catch 22.
