The Granny stripes are gorgeous... how many colors will you have before you repeat, I wonder? Glad you and hubby got to go camping. I remember those days... Now I am all about comfort! Ha! As for the blogging and commenting... I am going to post about it, but basically there have been some BIG changes made by google, yahoo, aol and hotmail that are affecting so many! I have changed my blog to a different email (hopefully)--I think it will take a day to be in effect. But if you have set your blog to send you an email when you get a comment, then you must change THAT email to one that is NOT one of the big four above!

Thank you for your comments on my blog. I...Hi Ann,<br /><br />Thank you for your comments on my blog. I buy my yarn from various sites but cotton yarn from Hobby Craft which is a shop in a near by town. I searched for crochet DK cotton and Amazon.com sells it and bright colours too. My mandalas are acrylic yarn as I have such a large stash I would feel guilty if I bought more yarn.. Once they are painted with PVA glue they will be stiff.. I like your seaside colours for your mandala, very pretty.<br />Chris Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332613086771922320noreply@blogger.com
