Call me Grandma

I always wanted to learn how to knit.

I tried to crochet a few years ago and the yarn and hook are still sitting in a basket under our end table.

I was taking about my lack of yarn skills and the art teacher told me that she could teach me... I warned her that I had tried and failed before but she said that if she can teach 8th graders to knit she can teach me... ha! It seems she was right, and we only had to pull it apart and start over once! After I finish this scarf I get to learn some more difficult stitches and I'm so excited!

Get me a rocking chair and call me Grandma!

Card making with Aunt Connie!

Aunt Connie had a Stampin' Up! party at her house last Thursday. I was so excited to go since it was actually something I am interested in. Usually I get invited to Pampered Chef or Tastefully Simple parties which are nice, but all of that stuff is really for Richie more than me. I have the scrapbook market covered in our house so it was super fun to see things that I would buy for myself! The only problem was that I wanted everything! I settled for only $88.00 worth of stuff but it was so hard to choose.

These are the cards they taught us to make. I followed the directions for the first one with the flowers but I changed it up some for the second one. It had horses on it and I wasn't crazy about them but I loved to paisley stamp they had so I made my own design.

So much fun! I need to make cards more often. It would be a great way to use up all those scraps I have left over from my pages.
