Welcome to my SACRED YARN ROOM. I want to share with my friends the things that I do that make me happiest. I love to travel and I love to be at home. When I am at home I keep busy with my knitting and crafting. I love my family and my home and my friends. I hope when you visit here that you will find something to make you smile.
