Crafting & Preschool


Miles has been having nightmares lately. Did I mention they occur around 3 am? Yeah. So, we have tried everything from reasoning with him to books that deal with this topic. Nothing has worked. SO, I borrowed an idea from fiction books...Meet the invisibility cloak:
One side is a soft cotton, while the other side is flannel.

The idea of a cloak that makes you invisible is an old one. I told Moe the blanket will say "bye bye" to nightmares. For some reason, it worked. He sleeps in his bed, and doesn't come in ours at 3 am. He is quite pleased that I made it especially for him. It makes me happy to see it being treasured.

I FINALLY finished the rug.
I am pleased with it. I am more pleased to be done! I think I will go back to smaller ones. Kevin calculated how many stitches it took. I don't want to know. I know it took tooooo many!

Mimi started preschool today, and she loved it. She said she enjoyed her time away from Moe and me. :) I think she was ready for the break. I was surprised how hard it was on Moe. He cried for his sister, and talked about how much he missed her. When we picked her up he hugged her three times. It was sweet. He told her it was horrible without her. I guess I am not much fun? I will try harder tomorrow!

Have a great week!
