What I was up to yesterday...

I have 4 boys.

They are all rough and tumble.

This trampoline belongs to boy #3.

He did this to the net one day.

Now I have fixed several more minor tears in the netting:

 (Some of which could not be fully repaired.)

But they have out done themselves.

I told them, "The net is there 'just in case';

it is NOT there to rebound off of."

I took pictures as I made progress:

This is NOT the kind of craftiness/sewing

that I particularly enjoy so...

Here's to hoping!!!

Thread Crochet Ponytail Holders Series (1)

CROCHET ACCESSORIES FOR KIDS

I made these using small ponytail holders.

The patterns are from a book called:
Ponytail Band Toppers:  Ten Designs to Crochet
by Liz Edmondson

This particular pattern is "Spring Lace" (pattern #1 in the book)

I used size 10 thread with a size 6 (1.80mm) thread crochet hook.

3 more ponytail patterns

are on their way!

COURAGEOUS

If any of you possibly can,

go see this movie!

It will only be out for a few

days in the theater.

This is probably the best movie

I've seen.  It makes a person

really think about what it means

to be a parent and to do an

excellent job in the sight of 

God Almighty.

Here's a preview:

I so hope you will make time for this.

It is more than worth the price

of admission (and I never think

that with today's trumped up prices).

Frog It Friday

Here is the doily that I

originally intended for 

the Give-Away:

It, too, is a PK.

The pattern is "Penny Lane."

But as you can tell,

something went awry.

This doily has been blocked,

but...

I was not able to work the warp out.

I decided that I would have to frog

it to the point before the warp starts.

I just kept wondering what happened.

and wondering...

(I don't usually have this trouble.)

and wondering.

Then I saw the hook I had been using.

I KNOW I started this doily

with a size 7 (1.65mm).

But lo and behold,

this hook was a size 4!!!

Girls, I have 

NO

IDEA

how I did that!

So...

a frogging I will go,

a frogging I will go.

High-ho the derry-o,

a frogging I will go!
