[Nfb-krafters-korner] are you a yarnaholic

Fri Mar 23 04:49:44 UTC 2012

I admit I am a yarnaholic but as I am a multi - tasker, I also am a 
quiltaholic, ceramicaholic, a paintaholic  a weaveaholic and hopelessly 
buried in UFO's.   I can tell you I am never bored with a project because if 
I start to lose interest, I switch to something else .  There is always 
something here to do and I love working on them.  At my age, I doubt I will 
finish all of my projects nor will I even put a dent in my yarn /fabric 
stash but I plan to give my best effort, LOL.  I taught my grandchildren all 
these crafts so if I don't get them done, they will just be passed on to 
them to finish. JoAn
