OK, that just rocks! You have sent me running once again to Biblio.com to expand my Better Homes & Gardens collection.

I wouldn't mind learning how to crochet!

I have a thing for granny square afghans. I find them all the time at garage sales for just a few dollars. I only buy pristine ones, and there are plenty to choose from!

wow, I am *making* this sampler right now! It's funny to me to run across this here--I heard you on CraftyPod ( great shot announcing that by the way!) and have really being enjoying looking back through your blog. You have an amazing collection: thanks for sharing!
