We played Cootie, read books, (all of us on the sectional at the same time reading...that's unusual too for us!) did lots of snacking, watched t.v. and made these:
Brady has been wanting to learn to make these...so I bought a kit
and taught him how. He was really excited about it at first...but after
the first pot holder, he said he was going to take a break...
which means he's done. I guess it wasn't as much
fun as he thought it would be! I couldn't remember how to
finish it off...but Eric was actually the one to figure it out (he probably
doesn't want us to tell anybody though!). There were only enough
loopy things in the package to make three pot holders...darn!
I was actually enjoying this craft...could have made them all day long!

OMGosh! My sister and I used to make those ALL the time! They were teacher gifts and Christmas presents and props for tea parties. Used to, you could buy more of the stretchy thingies at a craft store like Michaels. Don't know if they still have them, since it's been so long since I've seen one of those.
Very cute. At least he tried it once. I don't remember doing on eof those, but I do remember latch hook rugs.
It rains every darn day....I'm beginning to feel like I live in Seattle.
so fun! i was thinking of teaching my son this. he's six. i wonder if that's a good age for this little kit? i'll have to check them out the next time i'm at the craft store.
Riley loves doing these!!
Dave has received two already as gifts.:)
Perfect thing for a rainy afternoon!
Enjoy the day

I used to love making those. I made a ton of them, I am sure.
I laughed when you said he needed a "break". haha. Good way to say he was done!
ps...Hope you had fun at the lake. Hope you post some pics! Yes, we could have a lot of fun hanging and drinking our girlie drinks. I'd love to hang with you!
When I was little I made these for eveyone in my family one Christmas. My kids have made them to! Great rainy day craft!
The big ballerina was into making those for a while. She cranked out a ton. I was so excited b/c I totally remember loving making them as a kid too. She's into sewing now. She's getting pretty good too. :)
Oh, the flashbacks, I totally made those potholders as a kid!! Love that they're still around ;-)
