I have the short-y sock version of Smart Wool and they've lasted many years for me; I'll avoid the taller styles.

'Gold Toe' is my everyday sock of choice, but I will check out 'Darn Tough.' :)

If you want to confuse a youngster, ask them what THIS is used for.

I haven’t seen one of those in years.

I’m now into quilting mode.

I’m working on a stained glass window quilt. I had a lot of trouble getting the black for a while but it seems to be back in stock now.

I give up on the picture, wild guess maybe a felt shaper??

Found these today as I was rummaging around my Mom used to make them about 50+ years ago, cute ice skate pins with paper clips for the skates. They make a nice attachment to a gift. And look cute wearing as a pin. I don't know if she got the idea from someone but my Mom could make something out of nearly nothing.

I have switched from gardening to crafts mostly crochet and some sewing, I make dollhouse real patchwork quilts among other things and can sell them on ebay.

I may have posted something about this artist a couple of years ago. She is well known even internationally. She specially treats dried leaves and then uses the tiniest crochet to bring them together into amazing art. If I remember right she has a website and Facebook page. This article is the first thing I found,
