I was in Connecticut visiting the town where I grew up…this is one of the prettiest “Town Greens” that I have seen.  So common in New England to have a green with a Congregational (usually) Church as the center.  The churches used to be central to town life…imagine!

went to a knitting shop today and all my senses came alive by the colors and texture of the yarn and may be inspired to take up knitting again…

I might want to purchase this dress

this is a felted bag, isn’t it beautiful!!  I might try my hand at one using an old sweater, but it will never look like this!

It really is time to start a Fall/Winter project.  I may have found it!
