It’s Almost the Weekend, Hanging out with Nieces, Nephews, Mom, Sister, Sister-in-Law, Little Crocheted Circles, and Another Can Coat

I know I always say that I’m glad the weekend is finally here, but I am glad. 🙂 Especially this weekend, because my niece Sarah is bringing some of her friends from Oklahoma to Wichita so that we can teach them to crochet. I do love this picture of my brother Terry with Sarah and of course the photo was taken by my other niece Jessica who is a photographer. Jessica is married to Sarah’s brother Zach. (Hi Zach, wish you could be here too)

she’s also bringing my nephew Keegan and her brother. You may remember he’s the one that’s just 6 months younger than my Joshua. And if you don’t remember; now you know. It’s still too early to know whether I can talk him into learning to crochet.

My sister Jackie will be there to lend a helping hand with crochet tips.

Of course my Mom will be there since we will be using her house for the festivities. I just love this picture of my Mom with 2 of my 3 sister-in-laws. 🙂

My sister-in-law and Sarah’s Mom, Cathy will be there too, and Sarah and I are really hoping that she will want to learn to crochet also. Cathy is also bringing

my nephew Jacob and his wife Kim along with their daughter Lilly. I already taught Kim to crochet at the same time that I taught Sarah, so I think she will have some special crochet tips too to help with my teaching.

Along with crocheting I will be making lunch for everyone. On the menu will be bean, meat, and cheese burritos, or soft shell tacos (make it your own style), I will also have a pot of chicken tortilla soup, and chips and homemade salsa will be served. I wish all of you could come to my Mom’s house for the day; wouldn’t that be fun? Not so much for my Mom, but for me it would be fun. 🙂

Well it doesn’t seem like I have accomplished much in the way of crocheting this week. But I did manage to make 34 circles to fit in each corner of my Dahlia Throw. I love how the circles look all stacked up together; they kind of remind me of balloons.

I also finished another can coat.

This one is going to stay here with me because the colors go perfect in my upstairs bathroom and I do love how it looks up against the turquoise walls.

I think I will love it sitting there on my sink with the pink Q-Tips in it. I love making these can coats and jar jackets because it allows me to use up some more of my little pieces of sport weight cotton yarn. So do you all have special plans for the weekend? I would love to hear all about them or even if you don’t have anything planned I would love to hear that too. Make it a great one whatever you decide to do and Happy Crafting!
