[Maria And Joe]

Hi Cathy, not sure if it was you or not but someone sent me a link to a website in Brisbane that sells American yarn  and stuff. I think I should be able to get most of my supplies from there. We'll wait and make sure that I am getting the right loom they have a set of round looms  I have my I on 

Maria, Joe and Karly.
