Handmade Holiday

This is for my little Grandson Jacob. I used one of my basic hat patterns and the features from here.


This scarf is also for Jacob. It's from my shop.



This is a shrug and beret for our great niece. I found it in a book from the library. I believe it was a Candy Jensen book.



These hats are for DJ and Nathan (grandkids). They are knit and have the fringe that I learned how to knit from the book Men who knit....

My silly story:


On most days I like to rise early. Once I have risen I like to take a deep breathe of fresh air. Soon my son will be awake and ready to start the day. Yes sir, once he is awake he goes straight to the fridge to see what is good to dine on. Mom draws the line at candy for breakfast! He tries to butter me up by bringing me a rose from Daddy's garden. Now he's gone and done it. That's one guy who knows his way to a girl's heart :)

It's going to be a crafty Christmas

My son Robbie (9) has been showing more and more interest in crafting with Mom. His ability to do different things has gotten much better this year. When I was at A.C.Moore recently, I found all kinds of fun little crafts for him to do. Some are just gluing, but that is OK. Even big guys need to know how to glue neatly. Most of these were only $1.00 making for a fun and not too costly time.

I always dread the after Christmas let down. The time when the kids have torn all the packages open, played with everything, and are now bored with nothing to do. I thought this year, Robbie and I can have some fun together making things over a few days. Plus, if I can't be there constantly with him he has gotten very good at following directions/pictures on the craft boxes.

I love to see how proud he is of himself when he makes something! I think felt/fleece has been his favorite to work with. He made a hoodie for his best buddy Sparky recently. I only gave the basic help of how to make the shape so it fit Sparky. Then I showed him where he needed to stitch it all together. He made his own button holes too.

Now for my story......


As fate would have it, my tea has yet to arrive. Now, I am not normally a big fan of tea but since I already ate a blue ant I really need something to wash him down with. At least I know I can eat ten tan ants without getting fat! I wonder if I could say the same thing if I ate a bee that I caught in my net?
