The year 2010 is halfway over. Where did the time fly? It seems like only last week I wrote down New Year's resolutions. One of those goals was something about finding more time to crochet items both for others and myself. With that goal in mind, I pulled out my unfinished projects and sifted through...

The inspiration for this blog came from a guy named Rex. On the last leg of my October flight, from MSP to RDU, I was scrunched in the middle seat. The window seat was still vacant moments before they closed the door. Hope springs eternal. Then a tall guy came to our row, grinned and said, "Yup...
