Hello

I haven't posted in so long I nearly forgot how to get here! I was busy trying to finish 2 afghans to give as gifts on June 3rd. Mixed in with several Dr. appointments, tests. and then all the extra days volunteering at school. Boy was I ready for a break but the day after school we headed to Reno for 2 days, another doctor appointment, and now to get something new to post.

I promised a set of placemats for a raffle for 4th of July. Red, white and blue of course. Well I got the first one done and wouldn't you know I had to break not one but 2 pegs off of my loom. No more placemats! I was so sad. I have had those looms for probably 30 years and I thought while making the placemat I would be so sad if I ever broke it. So I break it! I'm not an ebay shopper but I had to go and look and I finally found a bargain. I will put in a bid first thing in the morning and hope I win. So far not one bid on them and I am hoping it will stay that way. I will let you all know if I get lucky. Otherwise the cheapest I found was 50.00 and up on ebay.

So here is the the center piece I made to match the placemats. I promise not to be gone for so long. Hugs to all, Cindy~~~It seems blogger doesn't want to upload my pics right now so I will have to come back later and try to post the pics. So check back if you'd like to see them. Day 2 still trying to upload the pic. Sorry. I will keep trying.
