your children a bit early that evening.

Set the clock back to midnight before their bedtime, and celebrate
ringing in the New Year.

For a fun 2012 craft, print the glasses onto card stock
and have the children cut them out.

The glasses are in two sizes, and if neither fit, enlarge or reduce when you print.

Oldest granddaughter (whose birthday is today) asked me to crochet
Alice in Wonderland and the white rabbit for her Christmas Gift.
I had not picked up a crochet hook in quite some time, but
you know what happens when a grandchild requests!

She found the pattern at  www.kandjdolls.etsy.com and I
surprised her by making them for her birthday. They were both easy to make,
and you still have time to make and give them!
By the way, the mad hatter and the cheshire cat are also in the pattern.

 



Above are two easy to complete Christmas quilts.
Both patterns are at www.patterns2quilt.com


This is the fourth season we have offered fun patterns
for the children to make ornaments for the Christmas tree.
Lower right is the new one for this season. All are free.
They can be printed on card stock or on fabric.
Ready for the children to color and decorate.
Find them under free patterns at:

now selling for $140.00!

We now have new lawn mowers!

We keep the livestock away from us, but opened the gate and they are
living it up with new places to graze.

We just have to watch where we step now!
