Toys in the attic...

Look what we found up in Mema's attic last time we were visiting! An old trunk from *at least* the early 1900's that belonged to DH's grandmother. Inside, ** much to my surprise**, there are some yarny goodies tucked away by Mema (DH's mother).

Now, Mema is the person who taught me to crochet when I was 15, but I don't remember seeing this ripple afghan in all that time...... and she gave it all to me, me, me! :) (Happy dance!) You can see how excited Asia is, too! There was also some fabric ("vintage", I'm sure) see below.

Woo hoo! This is like finding Pirate treasure! I'm not sure anyone else in my family would understand that, but I know my grandson, X, would!

Potholders, Ripples and Children

Back when Bron got on her potholder kick, I had to follow her lead and make some too. My tastes are similar to hers, I guess that is why I enjoy reading her blog so much.

A little more added to the ripple I am making into a pillow cover......

And to go with today's video in the side bar: some photos of "sweet child(s) o' mine".

my DD - Auntie Grim

My DS - C (Bubba) bet you can't figure out WHERE that nickname came from!, and my DGS - X (Spidaman).
