LInda Hayden's Gorgeous Blanket!

Two days ago I opened a long, slim box from California. Of course, I knew it was our dear friend Linda Hayden's blanket! I had even seen it when we visited with Joel(hubby) and Linda at The Vaquero Show in Santa Ynez. However, I hadn't seen it with the wear leathers on, thus it wasn't quite complete. AND WOW!!! What a treat. In Prairie Karen colors, my mare will look so fancy. I feel honored to have one of Linda's blankets. Linda grows plants for color, spins and dyes the wool and weaves on a beautiful loom! What could be more perfect? We are blessed to share a friendship with Linda and Joel...( and with Emelda...a mutual friend). As Dave Stamey so appropriately said, 'there are shrill voices on all sides promising doom and gloom, but if we have our health, and each other, we have everything. Wishing you all the best in 2010!
