Chris, I loved your story and when you said you were making lace by hand, I thought Wow! Isn't creativity wonderful? I would love to see you post a photo of your lace. I share your passion for horses and wish we could go trail riding together. The photo of you on your horse is nice to see. I'm glad you joined Connect and that it has a special place in your heart. I guess what I'm saying is just thanks for being you.

Thank you for your kindness. Although I cannot paint I am very creative in other ways. Last weekend a made a new tooled leather knife sheath for the owner of the barn because his old one died. I also just finished a bespoke silk wedding dress for a woman in Eugene. Right now I am really passionate about knitting again. This doesn’t look like much, but I will send a picture of it after it is finished and blocked. This is my own handspun silk and size 0 needles. It is like knitting on toothpicks.
