do you mind if i knit: My "Sarah London Scarf." Hello, I've got something to show you! I have to come clean, I've started a crochet project, without finishing my last project. Shockingly undisciplined, I know. It's the scarf you see in the picture above, and it's a pattern I've worked out myself, inspired by someone who's crochet and colours I aspire to, Sarah London. She has a fabulous blog, which you can go to here. I don't know if you remember these photos from a past blog post? So, let's see, what have we above? Hmmmmmm, that's a few patterns to write up for you, isn't it? Anyway, back to the subject of the Sarah London Scarf. This is the first time I've done any of this major "figuring a pattern out" malarky, and although it's really only a minor bit of working it out, I still feel I've achieved something. But I couldn't have done it without Sarah's help. Talking about patterns, Sarah has beautiful crochet patterns available on her blog. And talking of colour fixes, aren't the yellow leaves above beautiful? Oh yes!

Spanish Craft Revolution Fidgety Fingers: START WEAVING MAGAZINE COASTERS The woven magazine coaster is something easy to make. It makes a great gift too. Many friends have asked how it is made. We have taken time to compile some photographed steps. Take a piece of magazine spread and measure it by a quarter. Fold the quarter into half. And from the half, a third. Fold it into half again to hide the edges of the magazine paper. Fold the strip into half. Lock the first 2 strips together. This provides a solid base/start to your weaving. This is the following steps.

Little Hands, Big Work: fine motor Just a little warning to this post. My boys are still really young so I only use the "work books" when it is their idea and they really want to work on them. So far they have asked several times but if they lose interest then that is fine with me. I bought book from Costco and I really like it. Some of the things in it Caden really enjoys and other things are a bit out of his reach. I bought two of these folders. I filled each of their books with page protectors and then inserted only the pages that I thought would be good for them. The boys use dry erase markers to complete the activities.
