Master Gardeners Kids Booth

A couple of weeks ago was the annual Garden Show at the Mall. The Master Gardeners always have a booth and have a great time...
This year we added our Kids Booth, my husband and I started this last fall at the Reading Council's Readers Walk and decided it would be a good thing to continue with the Master Gardeners. We read garden themed books to the kids, plant seeds and tell them a little about how seeds and plants grow! THEY LOVE IT!!! At this age they just soak everything in like sponges. You can tell this Master Gardener is a retired teacher, she has such a great way with the kids and they love her!!!

We had a great crowd of kids all day. They would come and plant a seed than get a cup of lemonade and sit down and listen to a story. We planted around 130 seeds that day and gave away kits on how to make grass head people...

Even the parents loved it...

Another wonderful retired teacher, look how cute this little one is sitting on the straw so interested in this story with his lemonade...

We really need to get the kids back outside, gardening,playing and just having fun! Get them away from the TV's and video games!!! They are missing so much!

Have a Great Weekend!!!

Go Mountaineers!!! We Love Them!!! Final 4 Bound!!!

Spring is almost here...

Spring is almost here... I guess I'm going to slowdown on the knitting and get out in the yard!
I'm a brand new knitter and I'm really hooked. It has been so relaxing and something easy to take with me where ever I go. In the car, at the hospital, Dr.'s appointments. It's my new mobile craft!!! LOL
This is just a little bowl I made out of some leftover wool. I love to do felted projects... Cables are so much fun to do and I learned so much from this little hat project. I've been trying to pick projects that have something else that I have no idea how to do. I need to learn how to read the patterns. I even bought the book Knitting for Dummies. It is a great book...

This arm warmer has the horseshoe cable on it...

My new spring felted bobble purse is finally finished, I lined it last weekend (in between planting seeds).

This purse is done in the seed stitch with a I-cord strap... Boy I even am starting to sound like a knitter!!! LOL I'm learning all the names for these stitches.

This one is the seed stitch to, I don't know if it is going to be a scarf or a purse yet, the mystery project...

This is going to be my Mothers new slippers for her 84th birthday tomorrow. It just amazes me that you can knit something out of wool and they shrink and felt and turn out beautiful. I will give them to her and put them in the washer with hot water and they will felt and that way I can put them on her and mold them to her feet. It is COOL HOW IT WORKS!!!

This is what they look like when they are finished! REALLY !!! Those big purple things will look like this when they are done!!!

Well time for bed...

Have a Good One,
