Extra Love

My sister has this scarf that she loves and she found a hole in it. It was done on knitting speed sticks. I identified the yarn and even found some on the clearance rack and bought three skeins. I started crocheting it while I was visiting because I only shipped my crochet needles.
I tore it apart and started knitting it when I got home.
I think my son is in love with this scarf because he has pulled it off the needles several times.
We set up a little pop up tent sometimes on the weekends for him and dad to play in. Well wouldn't you know there he was with the tent door zipped shut with this scarf stringing the yarn out everywhere. I hear HONEY you may want to come look at this! Panic has come over me because you just know that tone your spouse gets when you should have been there before he called your name. I look in the tent and my little boy has this yarn all over him and is trying to knit with the needles only the scarf is no longer on the needle.
He looked up with those big brown eyes and said, "hi mom I help" okay how can you be upset at this point? So to my sister when you get your scarf know that it was made with extra love.

Zutter Bind-it-all

I love my zutter! And, now they have come out with a new version 2.0, it's pink and has a wider mouth for punching thicker boards.
The Zutter Bind-it-All is great for scrapbooking. You can easily make your own books in any size you need. With the binder your scrapbooks will be custom made just the way you want them.
What I love most about this item is that it's dual action. It puncheds the chipboard and the card stock but, it also binds the book.
It's easily portable, has a stabalizer and an easy pull handle. It all so has a collection area for the paper bits; just empty it right into the trash.
The only points I find I don't like with the Zuter Bind-it-All is that it's pink (I'm not a pink person) and that the collection area is small and must be emptied offten.
