I hope that you had a lovely Easter, or Passover or whatever it is that you celebrate.
Ours was lovely, although we are all so exhausted we are walking into walls……
it’s been moving week for our daughter and her husband, so we’ve been scrubbing,
sanding, priming, painting, packing, moving moving moving…. yargle………
Anyhow…. we had a lovely supper with the whole family, and afterwards,  my daughter-in-law and son brought out a special little Easter treat….
the chocolate bunny was delightful, but even better…..
The lovely tin box it came in has become the home for some of my crochet hooks and tatting shuttles.

On one on my email lists, people have been chatting about how they sort, store and organize their crochet hooks.

Just got a comment posted from a guy who’s broken his wife’s fave crochet hook….
ooooooooooh that’s baaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Can anybody help him out?
Of course, there’s always eBay…..
