No foxes, but it makes me think of you because you wrote about the Jubilee just the other day.

I am totally addicted to hand-dyed thread. Luckily, I have what many would consider to be a lifetime supply!<br /><br />Isn't it fabulous that your son is willing to be a tatting ambassador? Maybe he should take a tatting lesson or two before he leaves so that he can show how it's done! ;-)<br /><br />The tin is wonderful!

I think your mother knew very well that the fox was there when she gave it to you, don't you? - which somehow makes it doubly precious. What were you thinking about,when you finally noticed it? - it's almost as though a film must have fallen from your eyes at a significant moment.<br />I found this goose-bumpy stuff.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.com
