I made a pair for everyone in my family. Crafting is so...delicious! Crafters are such nice people and although I don't have a blog myself, I do feel a part of the online crafting community.

I am not sure what made me comment today - perhaps it is the shared joy of making something for someone you love, and discovering that they love it, too, and love you for making it. I just want you to know how much I appreciate your words and photos - they bring me joy, and make me examine my own life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions. I live on the opposite side of the world, bustling about and buying shrink-wrapped produce from the grocery store for the one child I still have at home, but I feel a kinship with you. Bless you and your family.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850946918840346599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-68022070810661151612014-06-01T03:01:03.305+10:002014-06-01T03:01:03.305+10:00Craft makes me happy too - makes hubby grumpy as i...Craft makes me happy too - makes hubby grumpy as it means I don't do the cleaning!!!

I think I might have to knit some slippers too to keep my feet toasty warm on the tiles.
