busy day on my blog...post 1 of 2...click HERE for a special Skipping Stones Design blog hop!
Hello and Happy Monday!
I'm over on the Timeless Twine blog today!
Here's a peek at my project:
I used Timeless Twine's
I contacted the artist of those CUTE mittens to find out if I could post my project using her PDF and she said yes! If you pop over to the Timeless Twine blog, I have the PDF linked :)
A little bit about the book I used...My father was the Editor of the book and gave it to me back in 1997, just before my boy was born. I chat a ton about my Momma here but not so much my Dad.
He passed away in 1999 of lung cancer as a non-smoker. It's my personal opinion that it was due to second hand smoke he endured while living in Japan.
Sadly, I didn't have much of a relationship with my Father....we moved when I was in 2nd grade. I remember he would take us to places like THIS.....and I'd be horribly bored but as an adult, I love to go to museums. I attribute graduating from the University of Washington in 2006 to my Dad. He never had a 'poker face' and those that know me, know that I don't either.
This post is dedicated to my Dad. I'm certain that he'd be proud that I'm pursuing my passion.

Lovely! I love the twine with the mittens - super cute!
That book sounds like an amazing keepsake for your father to have given you, just before becoming a mother yourself. (((hugs)))
I lack poker face too - I wear everything right out there in the open.
