In the beginning.......

In the beginning there was Dot & CJ. Dot & CJ beget Tinkerdink. The last in a series of three. Being the only female Dot took Tink in hand and taught her well from the vast knowledge handed down from one generation to another. And there begins our journey.....

At the nubile age of eight, Dot took hook in hand and began the slow process of teaching Tinkerdink the rich and rewarding life of a crocheter. Thus began a love of the fiber arts that has not diminished over the last 40 plus years.

In Tink's 10th year, Dot handed over the further progression of knowledge to Ms Mary. So, in the back of the Yarn Barn the sticks were applied to wool and a knitter was born. All hail Ms Mary!! Queen of the Yarn Barn where needles and friendship were applied in generous amounts. Ms Mary, no longer present upon this earth, was highly revered and greatly missed!

In the ensuing years, Dot taught Tink a multitude of talents. None were more loved than the fiber arts. The knitting and crocheting expanded into sewing, quilting, cross stitch, embroidery, crewel, rug hooking....just to name a few. Dot has always been there to guide and love.

Thus this blog begins.....

Perhaps Tinkerdink will assist others in their desire to learn the fiber arts and in the doing learn from others. And...just maybe Tink will learn how to speak in the first person somewhere along the way! : )

Blessings!
