We have a very strict rule for our natural creatures, and pets alike. You do NOT, EVER, touch, move or pick up anything untill you have mom and or dad's okay to do so. But we let them hold, touch anything so long as it is safe to do. Mainly because I was raised super well to be afraid of everything. Also why I am scared of horses. I took horse-back riding lessons when my dad was active duty and stationed in England, they teach you to never go around the back of the horse. I love those big ole creatures, but am more scared of them then not. So, the kids get to hold snakes. Good trade-off, right? lol
Just because you're scared, doesn't mean the kid has to be. Might need them to get rid of something for me one day, sure would hate having squeamish kids. I tell them, from a 4 ft distance, we can always wash your hands honey!!

Ok Ladies, I think I finally mastered the granny square since I posted last! SE I got the pattern memorized in my head, so I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! Also needed a better light over my shoulder and found an OTT Lite that works great! I saw it online for around $240 and by the time I finished searching for a better price, found the same exact one for $99 and free shipping at Sew Vac Direct.com! Hope you think my squares are OK, don't know if I could relearn again LOL! Happy Hooking All!

Oh, by the way, I'm making slippers out of the big ones and a scarf for a wooden snowman that sits by my door all winter!

Sorry, between canning, chicken injuries, and kids with poor grades and illness, life has been a little busy in my world. Especially since I work full time.

I have 25 squares done so far, but they aren't particularly pretty or well done. Just too much to do and not enough time to do it. Hope I don't disappoint ya'll too much

 

[Guitartists]

Those squares look great

WOW That's a BIG rattler! I'm glad we don't have them around here. I saw one once that someone had as a 'pet'? ... definitely a creature to be respected.... so quick and there's something in it's stare... I'd hate to have to go face to face with one... and I LOVE snakes

 

[eastTNchick]

Hey, ladies!!

skand - WOW! That's one BIG rattler!

maw ~ Glad to see that my squares arrived safe and sound!

Well, we confirmed that the neighbor's dogs did kill our chickens. They "supposedly got rid of them" on Saturday, but it's funny that we saw the dogs on Saturday and the chickens were killed on Sunday. Then, we saw 2 of the 3 that were supposedly "taken off" today. GRRRR. Makes me mad when people will not take responsibility for their animals and my chickens have had to suffer for it.

OK - getting off my soapbox now.

Have not gotten near as much accomplished today as I would like to get done. The girls got most of the dishes done, and I've been working on Mt. Washmore. We also went to Wal-Mart for my bi-weekly shopping trip, but since I was about out of everything, it was quite an expensive trip.

Right now, I have a killer sinus headache so I think I'm going to bed early. Have a great night, everyone!

 

[no chicks here]

Mt Washmore....Cute!!!

Wonderful squares 1momma

I don't do snakes!!

Thank God, I don't see them much!

Great job with the student!!

My granddaughter, who is 3 took a interest in grammas crochet

. So cute. I am working on a baby afghan for my daughter right now & she will act like she is crocheting if I leave my stuff sit when I get up. So on Friday, she was being a stinker. I told her to climb up on the couch & sit with gramma a while. I noticed she was watching me hook. So I got her out some yarn & my case of hooks & let her play around, she sat there for the longest time. That was the best time out I have ever had.

Clocks go back an hour tonight
