My folks have been working tirelessly lately to clean out their basement.  They’ve unearthed quite a few treasures while cleaning, and I have benefited.  Mom decided to give me a bit of my inheritance early…four garbage bags full of yarn.  Jackpot!
Now I need to figure out what kinds of projects to do with all of it.  For now it is granny squares.  And dad gave me a box full of old quilt pieces from  years ago.    These fabulous diamonds just need to be put together.  I’m not sure where to go with that project just yet, so they are put aside in my own basement for now.
I’m pretty giddy about all of the projects in my future.
