Can you guess what these are?

If you guessed fabric postcards -- You are right!
I learned how to make them tonight! My friend Mary was so sweet to come with all the supplies needed to show me how to make them. I made the very simple ones that didn't require alot of fussing, but Mary was making really nice postcards with bead embellishments and trim. I didn't trim mine, only used pinking shears (why are they called that? they aren't pink. Anyone?) These can be mailed just like they are, with postage of course.
Poor Maddie..she thought she was going to get a ride on the 4-wheeler...not have to sit around and wait for the kids to quit playing.

One more day of work. I can't wait for the weekend!

Crocheting with Aunt Betty

Aunt Betty is the sister of Kirk's mom.
Of all the aunts, uncles, cousins on Kirk's side of the family, I know Betty the best. We vacationed with her and Uncle Clarence in Arkansas for a few summers.
Betty does quilting, sewing, embroidery and crocheting. Since she is the reigning queen of making crocheted dishcloths ... I asked for some instruction while we were in St. Louis.
Now that I have this pretty basic dishcloth figured out, I'm cranking them out!
I can make one in about an hour!
The knitted ones are much prettier, but these aren't so bad.
I think I'll try them for make-up removal too.

Have I mentioned that I REALLY love Aunt Betty?

Or that we just seem to "click"?

It's probably because we are both first borns.
