twisted cord. I sent Diane to the rear of the store to buy white pipe cleaners that would make it possible for us to make the canes have a flexible top.
She came back and reported the store only carried "fuzzy sticks." A closer inspection revealed
they were indeed only pipe cleaners in a pretty bag. They came in red, green and white, so of
couse we bought one of each color.
Diane has already made a few tiny wreathes with hers and we plan to start twisting tomorrow.
We have a deadline of December 5th and should have at least a dozen ready to sell At St. John
LaLande by then. For those who have never heard of this particular St. John, as I hadn't, he
was one of the "North American Martyrs" who attempted to bring Christianity to the new world. At the time of his death, he was only 15. He had been in the service of the Jesuits for
a few years. Thank goodness we only need to serve God by selling crafts and cookies at the
annual fund raiser.
I intend to visit a tobacco counter soon to find out if pipe cleaners are available in today's
society or if pipe smokers have to use "Fuzzy Sticks" to clean their pipes.
