Stand Up Paddle Surfing

I've been trying to take a picture of this guy for a couple of years, but usually when I spot him he is either too far away or I didn't have my camera. On days the ocean is calm he can be seen paddling back and forth between jetties. It looks like fun and therapeutic, also quite a workout but the scared of water thing would get in my way!

Little Gray Kitty AKA Skitty...Moochie...

This is our wild cat friend who every morning inundates my dog Willa with affection. Willa is unimpressed...she is willing to share her chicken treats with Miss Kitty, but no snuggling allowed!

Delicious And Delightful

Whether the reason was not enough room in their luggage or not enough passion for the needles does not matter to me. Jonathan brought back from college this little present he found abandoned in a dorm room. A great find too as the price is still on the bottom at $20.

Interview Of The Month

This months interview is with crafter Sam Field from Springs Long Island.

Question 1. Who or what introduced you to the world of crafting?

"My art teacher Mrs. Lawler, she's known me all my life and I had her as my teacher for most of my school years. She would show me her drawings and sketches of her home in New Hampshire which inspired me to draw."

Question 2. Do you remember your first crafting project?

"I made a clay duck in kindergarten. It was made of gray clay and I glazed it green with black accents. I still have him on my bedroom shelf. I was very proud of my green duck. I showed every teacher in my elementary school when it was finished."

Question 3. If you were stranded on a desert island and allowed an endless supply of certain crafting items what would it be and why?

"A sketchbook and a pencil because I love to draw especially nature. It relaxes me like meditation, your in your own little world when you draw."

Question 4. What have you always wanted to learn?

"I want to expand my knowledge in crochet, not just doing rows, which is kind of boring. I like Red Heart wool, it's not too thick or thin, it's just right and it comes in so many colors."

Question 5. What project do you have going on right now and what is the next one?

"A crochet baby blanket for my nephew Gavin, who was born March 17, 2010. For my next project I want to make a really big over sized blanket using Red Heart wool in the color camouflage."
