| While Hilary Clinton asked weavers, knitters and artisans from the 50 states to contribute handmade Christmas ornaments for the White House Christmas tree, we hosted our own Christmas ornament exchange for visitors to our website. Each participant wove 6 ornaments that will be distributed to other participants. The packages have started to arrive in my mailbox. I will post sample photos of them as they arrive. | |||
