Windsocks by Joken from the Pangman area make handmade Windsocks. These are beautiful and would make a great gift idea.

Each Windsock is handmade and patterns, designs, and logos are appliqued to the Windsock. The Windsocks are made with rubber coated nylon oxford material and can be personalized with letters and designs.

Click here to see more samples of their Windsocks.

We have many talented people in Pangman and area.  If you are ever in the area, you may wish to stop in at our Farmer’s Market which is held on Saturday mornings during the summer.

The first winter that we lived in Pangman I finished off a Granny Square Afghan I had been working on for quite a while. This blanket is made from left-over yarn from my stash and from my late mother’s stash. I made up the squares in 2004/2005 and then finally during the winter of 2008 I finished up all the squares and crocheted the afghan together.

This past week I took it out and put it on the bed. It looks great and is very very warm.

I took a couple photos of the blanket on the bed. Of course, before I could take the photo of just the blanket, some of my cats snuggled up on it.
