Something about this thread made me take a lot of pictures of it. I couldn't even continue weaving for awhile, until I was done admiring its pattern...or something.So I was pretty happy weaving the pink and orange chenille scarves; the colors made me think of the tulips to come.

good friends...good foodThis months 2nd Monday gathering was at my home, with a large turnout I was having a hard time keeping up with everyone's show and tell. This is a most productive group. I will leave my spring scarf disaster for another post. But everyone else's projects were awesome.
