I love the colors in your blog right now....Hi Mona,<br />I love the colors in your blog right now. So warm and cozy. The story about the man crocheting is really neat. I would have bought that piece too knowing a man had made it. Unique... to me.<br />Thank you for the visit to my blog. You are always so encouraging and friendly. <br />David says he won't stretch the rattlesnake skin out on a board because frankly I think he might have butchered it a bit cutting out the backstrap. <br />Thanks again for your visit. I truly enjoy you coming by.<br />Hugs,<br />Karen<br />Ladybug CreekKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323076493744748557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-20371515972499145112010-05-03T10:58:11.927-07:002010-05-03T10:58:11.927-07:00I love handmade crocheted items...always on the lo...I love handmade crocheted items...always on the look out for them!

So nice that they have a new home with you, who will appreciate them. You DO find the greatest treasures. What I want to know is.....where do you put it all? Do you have some kind of an "out building" to store everything? I love change in my house...I put things out and then put them away for a while.

That's why I enjoy thrifting. I don't feel bad getting rid of something I only paid $2 for if I tire of it.<br /><br />Hope tomorrow is another successful day!<br /><br />NancyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601073005728827355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-25447307952915888052010-04-30T18:36:26.232-07:002010-04-30T18:36:26.232-07:00More wonderful treasures you have acquired.

On table tops, arms of sofas and chairs, the back of the chair, dresser tops... EVERYWHERE.

(I LOVE that!) <br />I do know a guy who works a hectic computer programmer job and does cross stitch to relax and to spend a little more time with his wife. Sweet really. His pictures are usually historic buildings, not flowers and girly stuff. He was featured in an article in a craft magazine a couple of years ago. His wife sent me a copy!GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-60968136231638970782010-04-30T05:32:15.635-07:002010-04-30T05:32:15.635-07:00It´s not that common that men over here crocheting...It´s not that common that men over here crocheting or knitting, but it seemes to get more popular now when most people are so stressed.
