I am new here

[lindar82]

Hi all, My name is Linda Runyan.

My hobby of doing needlework is a big part of my life, even though I work full time and spend a lot of time online. I have been crocheting on and off for 30 years, I am self-taught. I really enjoy exchanges and love seeing the work of all the creative people on the lists. I belong to many lists and do a lot of exchanges.I also knit and do plastic canvas, but my main passion is cross-stitch.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I am married to a wonderful man named Earl. We are owned by an elderly cat. Our children are all grown and we have 10 grandchildren.

 

I have a webshots album if you care to look:

Crocheters are the nicest people:c9

 

Ulla, my maternal grandfather came from Sweden, the island just south of the mainland, OOland or some such name.

 

Colyak Crocheter, I have many friends in the Pacific northwest, wish I could live there, especially when it gets in the 100's here in Phoenix.
