I've enjoyed doing hardanger for many years. The table runner piece that was made to fit my buffet took a long time to complete but it was so worth it. Currently I'm working on a Victoria Sampler piece called Dragonfly Lace http://www.victoriasampler.com/Catalogue/VS_Samplers/p81Sampler.aspx  Back issues and tendonitis have slowed my progress down on this plus a new grandbaby's arrival, but I hope to complete it this year.

Another of my favorite things to do while relaxing is crochet. My grandmother taught me to crochet when I was a young girl. She made granny square afghans, doilies, filet crochet pictures of the Lord's supper and many other items. I have a few of her pieces that I cherish. I made an afghan for our grandson who was born this February.
