Crafts

3 as well.

My mom was always good for doing that...not that she would offer me a drink. But when I was doing sewing, she would want a copy of whatever I might be making for myself.

She's in FL now, so she doesn't get to see what I'm making...hee hee.

Anyway, one stepdaughter professes to LOVE handmade articles, so a few months after her daughter was born, she asked if I would knit this cute little elf hat, which I did. Actually I made a couple of them in different colors.

So she posts to Facebook and all of a sudden all her friends want hats, and one of them actually asked if I would make one for her son, which I did.

The only problem with this being that they had to be made on dp needles...which I'm not real fond of, having a touch of arthritis in my hands and all.

So when her other friends started asking for the same hat, I posted the pattern to my stepdaughter's wall and basically said without saying it...go make your own.

Then last year this same stepdaughter waits till about two weeks before a double baby shower to ask if I would make booties for both moms-to-be. That's not enough time for me to be able to guarantee I could finish in time, especially with arthritis, so I had to tell her the truth. Not enough time, hand problems....
