Upcoming weekend there will be a Garage Sale in the little village I grew up and my daughters desperately want to participate, so they can earn some money. They made a lot of bracelets, necklaces and ear rings to sell.
What sweet jewellery your daughters made! I'm sure they sold very well. I think it's so good to allow kids to make and sell things - it really teaches them about money and commerce. Thank you so much for being a part of Hearth and Soul, Liz. Hope to 'see' you again this week!

In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo...
After months of crocheting, I am now more in the mood for sewing. I have two larger projects on the sewing table that I will finish soon and will show you here (skirt and top), and I'm still busy crocheting a baby blanket that turns out to take infinite time, but inbetween I made this little skirt for my youngest daughter, so I still have the satisfaction of a Finished Project: The blue fabric has tiny strawberries on it. Love that! www.betweennapsontheporch.net
