  November 28, 2009 – The Little People Potholder is going off to Gardenworks, to support the Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) farmland conservation calendar, and Mary Kellogg’s poems, my books and Lenore and Izzy, who are coming along. Maria cranked out a dozen of these in the past few days, and this one comes from a vintage fabric recovered from an old farmhouse near Vermont.

 Day after day, Rose checks for the Imaginary Squirrel, who she has been pursuing for nearly six years ever since she saw a real one up in that tree.Lenore and Izzy routinely pause for her to check for him, as she never fails to do. Rose does nto forget.
