Well, my items from Connecting Threads have arrived and I made one last trip to the store to pick up my final edible treats (for people and for critters -- dark chocolate was part of it!). Now I have just one item awaiting arrival for the box, my Amazon order. Then I'll have it all together. You don't want to know what I got from Amazon, do you? Want a hint? Well, I hope it will help/inspire you to learn something you said you want to try! That's all I can say!
