As soon as the weather gets remotely nice, we move as much of our living outdoors as possible. This means more walk-abouts and backyard picnics. When my children were growing up, Apple Stackers were one of their favorite snacks. They could help me make them, and they were great to take on-the-go. (Note: After slicing your apple, keep the apple …
These designs were created with beginner knitters in mind. They are knitted flat and are sewn together. For a more experienced knitter, I have created directions for knitting the dolls in the round, using double pointed needles, thus eliminating the seams.

This was usually followed by a collective groan, except for Margo. Margo was the class know-it-all who actually …
We took advantage of a break in the rain clouds this weekend and went on a Nature Hike. Lots of critters greeted us along the way.
Our Homeschool Playgroup went on a field trip to the 4H Butterfly Gardens just after Easter. The presentation itself was a little below the group… there wasn’t a question the lady asked that at least half the group couldn’t answer. But everyone had a good time and enjoyed the warm sunny day in the butterfly …
This year the kids decorated Eggs with Gammy and Othy and I don’t have any pictures… maybe Gammy does. I will have to ask. We did an easter egg hunt at church… unfortunately I forgot my camera and only have a couple poor quality cell phone images and then silly me I never got pictures …
Bug decided that he really wanted to make a Roman Gladiator Shield. I cut out cardboard rectangles for the kids. They then looked at images of roman shields and painted their shields. After the shields dried, we taped handle straps to the back of of the shields. Bug’s turned out awesome.
