Clam Bucket and Other Ramblings

I forgot my camera. No pictures of the finished Clam Bucket. However, in a last minute decision, I added a fork roll.

Gretchen did a great job assembling it and coming up with all the ideas.

Here is a nice story about the author of my number one favorite blog Simplemom with Amanda Soule. This was an interview of Amanda Soule. She is what I want to be, when I grow up, or retire.

Please check out my best bud's blogs, MK in Chicago (first post in a LONG time) and Lisa of GWhizstudio. They inspire me, truly.

I am glad to be home, too, Sam.
