Northern Visit Begins

I got to accomplish some knitting while flying to visit my parents in NY.
Mom and I started right in on  a project today.  We layered plastic beads in cake pans and then we baked them.
After cooling, we had Dad drill a hole in the top
 and hung them outside for suncatchers.........so when it stopped raining, we could see it shine in the sun!

    they let you use knitting needles on the plane? I was worried that they'd be confiscated, so I kept my knitting in the suitcase (but the flight only lasted 2 hours)... I used to do those colourful thingies with some granular stuff that could be bought together with those little forms - but the plastic smell in the house was awful, so I didn't buy more of the stuff once I had used up the bags... enjoy the stay - and have fun with all your "together-projects"!
