If you were looking for Donna, you would probably find her at any craft store or fair selling her homemade creations.
She was a very talented knitter, knitting pretty unusual things like raincoats, bracelets and handbags of plastic bags. She also made diaper cakes out of pampers and filled the inside with everything a baby would need. People just loved them.
