Dear West Virginia...
I'll always be a WV girl at heart. I love going back, and it always tugs at my heart each time I have to leave. This article is written by a native West Virginian who also left home. It struck a cord with me, and so I thought I'd share. Enjoy!

I made it...
For some reason I've been hit by the crafting bug lately... maybe the reason I haven't kept up with any of my blogs. (actually I've been too busy with LIFE to do that!)
Anyway, I've become found of a site called Pinterest, maybe you've heard of it. :o) I find myself on there most of the time at work. Bad, I know. Sometimes I just need a breather, or something to entertain myself with. That said, I've come across several things that I like and have attempted to make them. Two of those have been scarves. I made a really pretty flower scarf (post to come later), and ended up making 5 so far, and I still have another to make that was commissioned by a friend. And then there was a rope scarf that I saw, that I thought would be fun to try. So I made it:
It wasn't hard, but did take a while to get everything cut and separated. I've worn it twice now, and both times gotten compliments. I really like the one that I saw on Pinterest (source link above), it is made of much more muted tones, but I like the way mine turned out. I'm even thinking of making another one with just the blue and green yarns. I might even get a couple other shades of blue and green to add to it. We'll see...
