Many of us have probably seen and admired Raymond Crawford's painted canvases, but I had no idea what he gets up to in his spare time.

Here's Raymond's website. All you see there is needlepoint canvases but the next time I visit, I know I'll be visiting a hero's website. After all, someone who works this hard to preserve his little bit of heaven is a hero, don't you think? And he designs great NP, too!

Go Raymond! Thanks for bringing this to our attention Jane! Very cool. I read the whole article & I'm glad I don't live there!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Raymond Crawford for President! (I think the world will be a much better place once we get a stitcher in the White House, don't you?)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though. Thank you for sharing that article. Amazing work, Mr. Crawford! Bravo to you and your fellow citizens!
Wonderful! It just takes a bit of involvement to stop some of the things that are going on around us.
ReplyDeleteI read the article yesterday - thumbs up for Ray!
