Took the Shades of Night to guild with me today. They asked me to present a program on needle felting. That was a bit unexpected, and quite flattering. I'm still working on the lesson plans for the class I'm teaching for adult 4-H volunteers. I'll try to redesign the handout as a tute for the board.

just make something that represents you. Here's the link to the thread where we are posting our blocks.

I guess mine would have to be "grandmothers Flower Garden". I was named Anna after my grandmother who didn't speak much English so she called me "Honcha" (Polish) which all my cousins couldn't pronounce so it ended up being "Honchey" which I have carried for 71 years.

Lets talk!
Lets talk!
I would of course remove the background, and instead of them sitting on the couch they would be sitting on my hand. And I would be looking down to them.
not really me, but is really my gkids

In some cases it may be thought of as a short form of LINDA or names which end in lyn or line."
Oh gosh, here's another one:
"The meaning of "Lynne"
German name
In German, the name Lynne means- Variant of Linda: Snake. Lime tree; linden tree. Can also be a diminutive of any name ending in -linda. Other origins for the name Lynne include - German, English, English, French, Spanish, English. The name Lynne is most often used as a girl name or female name.
Alternate Origins - English, French, Spanish"
I think I'd go with "Lake" myself. Perhaps with a snake swimming in it. And an island with a lime tree in the middle....
