    Bag Lady #3

    Our 2nd tote is finished & ready to be sent out to a deserving Bag Lady (Or Gentleman)!

    It needs a name & I'm at a loss. Please contribute some suggestions. Edit: New official name ~ Partly Sunny!

    I'll be shipping it out as soon as I've contacted the recipient & have the necessary info. I'll give some clues as to the who & where once it's on the way.

      I started to think of one (lemon something) but I don’t think I can top partly sunny.

      I agree with Partly Sunny with that blue sky and sun/shadows on the grass in the background.

      It's gorgeous, and so is the setting you chose to photograph it. Summer is near!

    It's been shipped! It should be delivered Friday.

    1. The tote will travel an estimated 1,900 miles in a northwesterly direction.

    2. The intended recipient enjoys both knit & crochet. She is self taught from an early age. She also loves being in the garden. She generously shares ideas & encouragement here on Fiberkind.

    A new clue will be posted tomorrow!

    It's well on it's way now. Delivery is still scheduled for Friday.

    More clues!

    The tote will travel a little more than 600 miles before it leaves Texas!

    Some fun facts about the final destination according to Wikipedia:
    • This town was an experimental cooperative agricultural colony established in 1917.
    • This town's main agricultural products are almonds and walnuts.
    • The county in which this town is located hosts multiple ghost towns.
    More clues to the "who" tomorrow before delivery!

    It's made it to the recipient's state!

    On to the recipient---

    She knits more than she crochets, but enjoys both.
    She's a mother & grandmother (all boys).
    She's also an avid gardener.
    She's been a member of Fiberkind nearly since inception & holds a spot in the top 20 for posting to the site.
    She always has a kind word or witty comment when engaging with other members.
    We are fortunate to have wonderful members such as this recipient.

    If you've guessed the recipient, please don't disclose it here. Send me a PM & I'll confirm.

    One more clue will be given, once it's out for delivery.
