The Bare-Faced Truth

If you’re going to play Doodle Face with your grandkids…

be ready for a few revelations.

Sometimes the impression you think you are making, isn’t exactly the one you actually are making.  Yikes.

Well, at least I’m smiling.

That’s something.

 

 

Patriotic Star Garland

I searched and searched for the perfect crochet star pattern…

that I could make into a beautiful 4th of July garland.

Seriously, I tried four different patterns but they just didn’t do it for me.

Then I found this one and it was positively perfect!!

The pace was great too because I just made a couple of stars each day and poof!

I had just the right amount.

Next, I sewed a long chain and grabbed up a star between, every twenty five chains.

Sad to say, that I was so excited to give it to my star-loving Lyndi, that I didn’t take any pictures of the finished product.

But I can tell you–it was patriotic and colorful and realllllly cute.

I loved it.

She loved it.

It made us both very happy.

And that was the point.

Heh, heh.

It’s Happened

I guess we have to face the facts.

My son has finally snapped.

Where could he possibly be hiding them all?!

Well, at least he won’t need to buy Halloween candy this year.

He’ll be giving out KitKats…

from jail.
