A year or so ago, I bought a big bag of raffia at the local farm store. I knew I’d make
something but I was thinking cordage. Now I have one bundle left, and a new sun hat. #crochet

Made my own metatarsal pad. Crocheting is a survival skill.

Saturday hike on the Caminho de Santiago, and museum visit (Museu Etnográfica de Alvorge). Saw a yarn swift, a box of nostapines (yarn ball winders) and an antique La Pavoni espresso machine. Fixe!

Once I mastered Portuguese-style knitting, I didn’t look back. It saved my hands. Trying to do the same with crocheting. It’s tickling my brain. 🧠🤗 #crochet #portugueseknitting

Yesterday the depression was trying to take hold. Then I turned to corner and saw this. Don’t know why, but it helped.

In case you didn't already know. Those who didn't vote ('I don't do politics' 🙄) or voted for a 'more vegan candidate' (to use a friend's words)- I hope you are happy now. www.instagram.com/voters4equal...

Many people think they are following the Bidens. Check who you’re following on FB and IG. You may be following the office, not the person.
