Sorry we didn’t post last week. We are up to our eyeballs in making penguin kits!
We have been trying to get the kits ready for our class at our church. We are having everyone make a set of penguins! We need 30 kits. The hardest thing was finding ribbons. We just can’t find 3/8″ ribbon that has more than one color.
Anyway, today we are going to tell you how we did the yarn for the hats. As we started to cut the yarn we found that wrapping it around a piece of cardboard wasn’t working so I asked Steve if he could cut a board that would work. He did and it helped it to go so much faster! Considering that we needed about 60 piece per kit. We still had a little trouble when it came to cutting the yarn. Then Steve had the bright idea to use a bag clip to hold the yarn in place while we cut it. He ordered an extra large one and surprised me with it! It worked great! And now all the yarn and ribbon kits are ready, just have to cut all the wood pieces! Here are some photos of our solution!
Thanks for continuing to stick with us even when we don’t get posted every week!

A very dear friend and second mom has a birthday this week! I love that it is so close to Halloween and we always make her a Halloween themed card! The problem always comes to what gift to send. She sends cards to all of us for EVERY holiday! She is in her later life and recently has had some health concerns that are giving her a little less energy to do things. Luckily when I spoke with her a couple of weeks back she told me she would love if I would send her some cards to put together. She even told me what kind she wanted!!! I was so relieved! She wanted the one we call a 5 step card. We cut the bases and a coordinating paper and she can use it for any occasion she wants!
Here’s her card!
She called me this afternoon and said she got a package and was jumping up and down, even though she can’t anymore! I’m so glad she liked it and I really get excited when I get feedback!
Thanks for listening to my ramblings!
