Martha is mass producing…

Posted on Friday, September 30, 2005 by Dianne

Her infamous ‘coming home’ poncho! I was just visiting her website and there it was up for sale at $49.99 with the red being sold out. Don’t worry, she is donating all the money from the sales of the ponchos to charities like Katrina. I thought that was pretty cool.
Will I make this poncho? I don’t know. I do like to crochet, but I have a few other ponchos and am not sure if I will add another to my collection. The others aren’t homemade. I made a wool poncho once in high school and I hardly wore the thing!

Gr grandmom’s yoyo afghan

Airing out a yo-yo afghan made by my Great grandmother Caroline back in the 1940s. It needs lots of repair work, but I don’t know if I can do it and ruin the integrity of it.

Questions for the Soul-found my own meme book

Posted on Monday, September 27, 2004 by Dianne

I found a really neat book ‘If…Questions for the Soul’ by Evelyn McFarlane & James Saywell. I will pick a random question once in a while to answer.
If you could be more ambitious in a single area of your life,what would it be?
I had to think about this one a moment. I really wanted to handcraft items to sell and whether it is I haven’t found the right thing to reproduce or I haven’t taken the time to actually get down to brass tacks to find it, I don’t know. Now that I have all my books in order, I can see the ones I really love and want to try to make the crafts they illustrate. I also would like to make Christmas gifts this year like I did last year.
