Get Hooked

Kirby’s Epic Yarn for the Wii just seems like a game that I would enjoy. Kirby is a pretty well-know video game character. Now he has been transformed into a yarn figure…

I found one on the Lion Brand website and thought it’d be a perfect little gift for Mother’s Day. My mom loves flowers and has many in her garden. Here is one that needs no watering and weeding….
