Yarn Bounty!

Oh – what a great and wondrous plentitude waited for me when I got home! It’s like I was showered in Berroco goodness and riches.
A great big THANKS to fireballhead for the PEZ 4 Yarn trade. This is what she got from my end of the bargain. (Of course, it’s the hubby’s PEZ so I made out like a bandit all around! Bwa-ha-ha.)
I’m back!

Yay – I’m back from my trip to Honduras and no worse for the wear. It was a great trip and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. (But give me a chance first to learn more/better Spanish!)
Over the next few days, I plan on posting my journal entries and pix from my time there. I had limited camera action (didn’t bring enough with me), so I hope to supplement my fotos with those taken by others in my group.
So check back and read up on my great Honduran adventure! And to start you out, I’ll leave you with this image of what I needed… no WANTED to do once I got home. (Click the read more… link.)
Adios!

Well, I’m off on my adventure. There’s no internet where I’m going, so you’ll have to rely on Matty for your entertainment. He’s clever and amusing, I’m sure you’ll do fine.
See ya’ later, alligator!
A few quilts for the road

A big part of my Honduras trip is volunteering and charity. Not only giving my time, money and energy, but what we bring to the villagers is also an important part of our trip. We bring them items that are difficult to get in their region, like toothbrushes, non-lye soap, and tools.
Another item to bring is quilts. Although freezing temperatures isn’t a scare, comfortable bedding is hard to come by. In fact, the only comfort from a concrete floor I’ll get while sleeping is from the quilts I can bring.
So I got some material that I had on hand, hit the thrifts for blankets, and went about making a couple quilts.
