Thursday’s think about it…

Rabbit seen from the sky (one person sleeping on its belly)copyright gelitinIf you had 5 years, and a giant stash of pink yarn the size of a house…what would you do with it?

Well, a GIANT pink rabbit on an Italian hillside that is, as you can see, definitely bigger than a house, probably wouldn’t be my first idea…but this is exactly what these people did!  Click on the pic to discover what motivated this interesting creation. 

We loom knitters would need an awfully big loom to create this baby…then just consider the waiting time on that order!  Yikes!  😉

Last day for the Class!

Today is the last day for the online class on how to create the little baby booties.Last day of class!

I’ve had a lot of fun…this group has been so wonderful to spend a week with!  🙂  And everyone has created (& are creating) absolutely adorable booties!  I’d like to be able to post some on the Clique Pics soon…

Now…I’m off packing!  Yep, it’s time again to move my little family…our house is just way too dinky.  Our last move was not planned, as the house we were renting ended up being sold, so we had to hurry and scramble around to find someplace to park, if only for a temporary solution…and one that would except pets (our cat & bunny) was even harder to find.  So this temporary solution has lasted for a year and a half, lol…and we’ve finally found a suitable replacement, again that would accept pets.  Now my husband doesn’t have to worry about being chased out of our only bathroom by us 3 girls, lol!!!

So…off I go…busy, busy, busy!  I will keep my eye on the computer, though, as I know that there still may be postings in the bootie class today.  Thanks again for an awesome online experience!  It was a lot of fun…we’ll have to do it again soon…maybe this little item?…

A talent for tiny crochet~

emily-creating.jpgMy eldest daughter has an ability that I don’t have…or choose not to employ, lol!  She uses eensy weensy crochet hooks, embroidery thread, and her own imagination…and creates magic.  She can just think of something and create it right out of heran artist at work… head.  Like modelling with clay, but with thread.   🙂 

For my younger daugher’s birthday this year, she decided (promised) to make a little doll, along the same lines of a doll that she had already created for herself a few years back.  A little monkey out of braided hemp, with magnetic hands and feet, and little crocheted 18th century clothes.  He’s quite a little gentleman, and has even appeared in his own major motion picture!  (a science project for school that Emily created…a stop motion animation starring her very own…Cedric!)

For her sister, she decided to create a cat…almost an Anime creation.  This is what she came up with…

Emily’s Kitty…don’t you just love that tail?!)…with the monkey who started it all…Cedric!

Click on the pics to see a tad bigger…these little guys are awesome!  And that’s not just because I’m a proud mama…  🙂   Even Noreen Crone Findlay would approve, I’m sure!

PS: Sometime soon I’m going to see if I can show you Cedric’s movie…it’s very well done, and quite entertaining!
