i have tried to teach the girls to knit a few times and each time it is too soon. They sort of got the hang of it a few months ago on one of these tries. This morning, Juliana asked to knit with me. So i got her some fun pink and purple yarn and pink needles, cast on for her, and she was off. she is currently on her 4th row. Ella ofcoruse wanted in on the fun so I got her some yarn and needles to her liking, and she has been trying to make it work all morning. She is doing a yo after all stitches and can not figure out how to stop. But it is still progress.
I have been looking forward to the day that my girls and I can sit on the couch and craft together. And here it is!
What a glorious thing!
i am so excited

So after much thought, Chris and i had a brilliant idea for the kids Christmas present. We are going to build them a big cardboard box cottage in the playroom. We will sneak and set it up on Christmas eve while they are asleep, and have a tiny tree and presents and stockings in the cottage.
We ate the Childrens ministers at our church and we learned how to make great buildings and what not with cardboard and these rivet things found at

we did the castle for a series on bravery. It was awesome and lasted for 6 weeks.
We have a basic design and floor plan. We start building it in the garage next wee. I will document as much as i can.
