Handmade Homespun Happiness For Infinity

You have heard about the 'Infinity Scarf'...right?  It has been popular for several years and is a quick to knit or crochet gift item found in abundance on Pinterest, Etsy and other 'Handmade' outlets.  So Trendy is this 'Forever Circle', that every Tom, Dick, Harry and Dollar Store have Circled their China Made Wagons to produce an infinite number of scarves for infinite number of necks around our infinite globe.  Gives new meaning to Infinity, huh?

What does this do to the Old School 'It's Hand Done, Honey' knitters, crocheters and weavers? To answer that I will have to step up on my 'Soap Box', which over the years has become a 'Soap Box Stack' so high that stepping up high enough to be heard all the way to China is might near impossible. 

So, I won't go there on this last day of November and the beginning of what once was a season for Homemade/Handmade Crafters to pedal their infinitely handmade items.

Instead, I will continue to be a Homespun Handmaiden because it makes me...
....Infinitely Happy....

Winter Boots Time in Texas

Suddenly, it is the end of November.  Like past Novembers, this blog has been short on posts.  And, this blogger has been more of a looker/reader and less of a commenter on my Blogland Friends list. 

It's a busy time of the year for everyone.  I've noticed the change in many blogs I visit.  Many of us are Facebookers and other social media posters, and stay connected with our fellow bloggers that way. 

Still, I enjoy the Journal and Writing format that is part of blogging.  And, of course...the photo journaling.

I plan to keep blogging! 
I hope you do, too!

Here in Texas, we have November Fall weather, for the most part,
with temps in the 70's and 80's.
However, the closer we get to December...
.....Texas Mother Nature let's us know it's time to break out our Winter Boots.
Or...in my case...
Vera Booties!
