Ella's First Knitting Project ...

December 27, 2014

Ella has been asking me to teach her how to knit ...

 I found this knitting kit for beginners ... with video instructions included ...

and gave it to her for Christmas ...

I was amazed at how quickly she was able to grasp the art of knitting ...

in just a few minutes ...

I was thrilled to find her sitting by herself ...

and knitting away ... 

saying the little rhyme ...

"In the front door ... around the back ... peek thru the window ...

and off jumps Jack "

Hoping she will continue knitting ... 

and finish making the scarf ... !!!

Proud of you Ella for learning how to knit ... !!!

Another Day on the Road …

November 3, 4, 2013

Grandpa was there to help the boys work on their projects …

All three of the kids wanted a refresher course …
on how to crochet the Friendship Bracelets again …
they wanted to make more of them to share with their friends at school …
Ella was also working on her weaving loom …
beautiful colours … I wonder what she is going to make …

This is the pipeline that is being placed in the ground …
for the Tamazunchale Extension …
Nathan's project he is working on …
capturing these photos on our way to our next destination …

Photos on route …

Heading up a winding road up the mountain …
passing a rock quarry … these are found all around the area …
also stopping to take pictures of the cacti …

Pocket For Henry ...

James had asked me to make a pocket for Henry ...
My dear friend Dagmar ...

James was so excited when I delivered him yesterday ... !!!
