Before I Forget

The other day right after MAK's nap, I walked in to get him up, and he told me this story (as best as I can remember now)

MAK: turtle - cry (holding his stuffed Yerdle the Turtle)

Me: Why did the turtle cry?

MAK: turtle - fall down - right there - bump - cry - kiss (he kisses the turtle) - all better!

Me: That's so nice MAK! (as my heart melts at his thoughtfulness)

MAK: teddy bear - nap (he lays his teddy bear down and covers it with his blanket)

Me: We better let the teddy bear sleep. Let's quietly go out of the room.

MAK (whispering): OK

Recently Completed Projects

I have been wanting to mention my completed crochet projects for a while. I actually had to put this on my to-do list.


I made a pair of gloves/mittens (of course I finished them just in time for "summer" :-/) They are gloves with fingers only part way up and a flap to make them mittens. I had started them in white the winter of '10-'11, but then I undid them all the way this past winter because I forgot where I was in the pattern. I then restarted them in purple as you see them here.

I made a basket to hold MAK's play kitchen toys. We still have to work on keeping them in the basket when we are done playing :)

I made flowers that could be attached to accessories with safety pins. These are the first 2 I have made. I have some other patterns I would like to try, but those are not completed yet.
