i make the mistake every year of allowing my daughters to decide what i will be making for our halloween costumes will be. bad enough was the year we all went as cheerleaders (oooh i hate cheerleaders) but even worse was last year’s praire girls complete with pantaloons, aprons and lots of coverage. my girls’ costumes came out perfect. mine was so tight (because i didn’t think to measure myself as diligently as i did them) that i couldn’t breathe deeply or sit properly. i had the posture of a puritan that night.

My sister started knitting when she was about 8. Her first project started out as a scarf. It got rather large for a scarf and soon it was to be a sweater. As it continued to grow, it moved up to a throw/comforter for the couch. When it outsized any comforter any of us had seen, she announced that it was now going to be a blanket for her bed. That was about 40 years ago…as far as I know, she is still knitting on it.

My 10 year old son made a tiny boxcar to enter into a boxcar derby. He made it himself but alias the car fell apart as it raced toward the finish line.

When I was a little girl,my mom asked me to go in her sewing box
and get her a needle,well my mom had all kinds of goodies in
her sewing box.I picked up a fishing hook,she had in there to
give to her,looked like a needle to me.Somehow it got caught in
her finger and she couldn’t get it out.We had to wait till my Dad
got home and I felt bad while she sat there in pain.

My daughter used my craft supplies and “decorated” the walls.

That's a unique necklace. Never seem another like it. I like that it's wrapped in recycled materials too. Gennaro’s last blog post..Recycled Masterpiece: Chandigarh’s Rock Garden

I love doing beadwork but love cats also. Let’s just say the two things do not mix. Beads moving on a string are way too inticing to a cat. I was working on one bracelet that involved stretchy cord. My cat ate it – well most of it. I wasn’t sure which one did it until I saw the “bungy” poop hanging from the culprit. It was gross but funny.

I was knitting my first scarf and was almost finished when my daughter (who was sitting with me on my bed) asked if I would get her something to drink, I told her yes and not to touch my knitting while I did. Sure enough when I came back in the room there she was in a tangled mess holding the knitting needles! I asked what she had done and she replied,”Mom, there was a loose string hanging out so I pulled it.” Obviously she kept pulling it. I laugh about it now, but then I almost burst into tears!

When I was very young my neighbor taught me how to knit. I was very proud of my new found talent and my poor mom had hand knit things all over the house — coasters, dish washing cloths, “decorative” covers for the arms of chairs… you get the idea. I even had new blankets for all of my dolls. The one I look back on and feel sorriest for was my Dalmatian dog who had to suffer the indignities of wearing the sweaters I knit for him… never using a pattern. Did I mention I had a fascination with blue variegated yarn?
