I used royal blue, red and white yarn and had the number "1776" in the middle and underneath it the number "1976", bordered by the three colors. I remember feeling very proud at the time and my family would show it to other family and visitors. It felt special. Now, all I feel is a very sad ache in my heart! I have 0 desire to make or "do" anything!
