This Is Us

I have been doing a lot more crocheting. I really enjoy it. It’s therapeutic, relaxing, and it makes me feel great when I’ve completed a project. I’ve made several things, but yesterday I completed another hot pad. This time I attached a loop so it can be hung from a hook. I’ve been thinking of selling them, but I don’t think anyone would buy them. Anyway… here it is!

  We just listed these cute hair ties/Scrunchies on our Etsy. My mom made them. There are many different colors and yarn used. Some have different sizes. If you would like to purchase them you can go to our Etsy store or  Click Here - Etsy Store Here is a picture of all of them. Because I can only upload 10 photos into Etsy, I had to put multiple ones in a couple photos.  Here they are all separated out so you can see them alone. Light Green with Sparkles Blue, Green Orange Blue, Pink, Green Purple, Green, Magneta Magenta, Yellow Red, White with Sparkles White, Charcoal, Tan Gray with Sparkles Purple with Sparkles Teal with Sparkles Tan, Blue, Cream, Pink Pink, Yellow, Gray Mustard So that is all of them.  If you buy one (or more) hopefully you or your children enjoy them as much as we (me and my children) do! Don't forget... to order you can go to our Etsy (Hechfamfarm98) or  Click Here Have a wonderful day!

  We just listed these cute flower scrubbies in our Etsy shop.  They are crocheted and well made. There are five different colors, but there is only one of each color. So if you want a certain color, you better hurry and buy it before it’s gone. You can click the link in our Instagram profile, go through our Facebook page or  Click Here

  I love our sink. It has two sections, one small and one large. The large side is nice for washing big things, and I can use the smaller side for filling up with hot soapy water so I can mop the floor.  When Lorena was alive she and JoElla would make scrubbies for all the holidays. Now it’s just JoElla. I used to have them on a suction cup with a hook, but recently I found this metal holder at Target. I had the yellow scrapper (for scrapping cheese off dishes) and magic eraser just sitting behind the faucet, but it would get really dirty back there. With this metal holder I can have all of it stored in it, and it drains access water into the sink. This is the suction cup. I had it stuck to the inside of the sink. This is the metal holder. It was only $4.00!

Okay, so tonight the kids have their ballet recital. We are very excited, and a little nervous. They did so well last night at their last class. Although they would get distracted when the other girls wouldn't dance. I think to myself... man I really wish they would just dance. But then I think... No it's okay. They are just little kids and they are having fun, so let them. Plus you don't want to turn into one of those Psycho mom's at a soccer game who are standing up yelling with their arms whaling, spit flying, and their husband next to them hiding his face, because you think they aren't kicking the ball "right". I think some of the moms turn into that because they don't want to see their kids fail, or have their kids laughed at and made fun of from the other kids. But which is worse and will scar them for life... Their mother making a fool of themselves and being yelled at from her or the kids laughing??? My choice... the mother making a fool of her...

So I am crocheting scrunchies for Xander and Brichette's Ballet Recital. I started and finished my first one last night. I am so excited. I think it turned out very nice. Brichette's class will have all pink and Xander's class will have multi-colored. Their teacher is buying Xander some sweat bands, since he doesn't wear scrunchies. My mom and Nick (yes Nick) are helping me. We have to have 15 done by tomorrow night. I think we can do it... My mom is super fast, and I'm getting better at it. This is a picture of the one that I made. If anyone would like some, just let me know. My mom has tons of patterns and they can be made from almost any kind of thread, yarn, etc. Plus they are really fun to make. That is what I will be doing on my lunch today!
