Got Another Blogspot Going!

Because we've had such a burden to teach little girls to crochet, Cheryl Foster and I have started with 5 new little ladies - and something else to spur them on: their very own blogspot!

So far I've only put one 'event' on there but watch this spot for some neat stuff!! Between the two of us grandmothers, we can keep up with this bunch and each other. What a joy!

These sweaters are for the Guideposts Sweater Program and will go to needy children in orphanages around the world. They were made by the last group of stitchers (our graduates?) and I admit they are not perfect but they are all complete!! Our newest girls (the beginners) are working on preemie hats for the hospital - also a worthwhile cause and a good use of idle hours!!

If you have a finished project that you have done, take a picture and send it. If it's worth stitching, it's worth blogging!! And don't throw away any of those bits of yarn either - we could use it!!

Happily Stitching - Oma Marijke

What to do at the office on a VERY slow Friday???

Well, sometimes it is fun to stage a meeting just to pretend to yourself and others that you are busy. Today, William G. Bragdon of our adjacent office, A.G. Edwards came over to sit down with Danielle Gibbs and discuss some serious federal funding issues on his mind...

Okay, so really we just sit around and shoot the breeze on Friday afternoons... but i think I'm going to sneak outta here a little early now!

"Dita!"

These days, when you ask Mr. Olice to tell you his name, he emphatically points to his chest and says, "Dita!". Should you then say, "No, I think your name is Olice," it is likely that he will grin at you again and say "Dita!" again.

Another fun thing to watch is Dita saying "An-yan" (translated, All Done) over and over to express that he would like to get down from the table. Only, An Yan doesn't really mean that he is all done. In fact, today he said An Yan over and over between shoving fist fulls of raisins into his mouth. Pretty cute.
