Another Scarf, Ear Warmer and Hat

I showed you my brilliant idea that went into the Hall of Shame. So to try to redeem myself, here's the other little things I made for the kids.

Jace a hat. I don't think it should be that pointy, but I can't be blamed for this one, I used a pattern! You can't really tell in the picture but those are balls and bats on the fleece.

I know I'm her Grandma, but is she not the most beautiful princess you have ever seen? She's so sweet, she didn't even make me beg to take her picture. My family is getting a little tired of always seeing my camera in my hand! Now that Christmas is over, I'm going to make me a holder for it to wear around my neck like my cell phone. Go ahead, make fun of me now like the rest of them do.

Greg and I had the privilege of hanging out yesterday with Ryan and Austin, two of our grandsons. They had money in their pockets that was burning a hole, so we went shopping. We stopped at Olive Garden to eat lunch and get our energy for this shopping trip.

That's Ryan's cool look and Papa trying to give him rabbit ears.

Yep, we even went to Bass Pro and guess what? I brought my camera!

Thank you, boys, we had a great time. Please remember, you're going to shoot an eye out with those air rifles if you're not careful!

Neck Warmer

I have to start by saying that my family thinks this is another entry into my Craft Hall of Shame. My neck warmer all started with leftover Sherpa material I had after making the two little girls scarves.

There wasn't enough left over to make more scarves, so I came up with neck warmers. Sometimes my ideas sound so good in my head but when they come out, not so great! My idea was to wear something around your neck that keeps you warm and you don't have to worry about losing it or carrying it while you're out running around. Here's how it was supposed to look (kind of). By the way, my pictures were horrible. I got a new camera and couldn't figure out how to use it.

That's what I intended it to do, but the girls had different ideas!

A girl scout sash. Or how about a belt?

They all had such a good laugh over my "great idea".

Josh did come to my rescue and told me I should make them with a button or velcro instead of sewing it together so it would lay flat. Okay, back to the drawing board.
