My son has gotten in trouble at school off and on for his extremely creative superhero stories and drawings that sometimes get too extreme for school. So, we are practicing appropriate stories here. They are un edited and a creative outlet for him
In the Indonesian Rainforest, Chris and Martin Kratt are trying to look for a flying Gecko. This unusual creature has the creature power to glide like a Draco Lizard because they have special things between their toes and fingers that allow them to glide. They can also climb on smooth surfaces because they have special fingerpads. Gecko fingers go the opposite way that human fingers go.
But meanwhile, over in the sky, there is Zack Varmetec. He is trying to find a new creature for his new spy bots. He thinks the flying geckos might be the answer.
Meanwhile with the Wild Krats, Martin calls Aviva and asks if she can make a flying Gecko power disk. She says
"Oh, these!" and she pulls out 2 from her pocket.
Martin Says, "How did you... ...um"
"I knew what you guys were doing," says Aviva "Teleport 'em Jimmy."
The powerdisks arrive and MArtin finally comes up with a name for the new gecko friend. "Sticker"
"activate flying gecko powers" they say together
But all of a sudden, when they turn around to see sticker, he suddenly disappears. When they walk back to the Tortuga, they realize all the flying geckos in the forest are missing! "We gotta find them" says Chris.
"but how?" says Martin "we don't even know where they are."
Aviva says "Come on guys, maybe we can use this special animal tracker I just built"
"well, we can try" says martin
"Now lets check" says Jimmy. meanwhile in the sky Zack Varmatech has turned all the Flying Gecos in the Indonesian Rain Forest into spybots!so now he can steal ALOT of the Wild Krattses technolaghy!such as...,The Creatarae,The Miniturizer ,The Bus Bikes,or even,THE CREATURE POWER SUITS!meanwhile,...at The Tortuga"no traces of the Flying Gekos yet"says Aviva.Then all of a sudden Chris & Martin spot something!Its Zacks jet!AN THEN...ALL the Flying Gekoes in the Indonesian Rain Forest come out of the sun roof & steal all the technology!But luckily The Wild Kratts have a plan.First Chris & Martin miniturize themselves & take of all the the gloves Zack put on them.Next they spray all the walls with some thing that makes it so the geckoes cant climb them. Next while the geckoes are distracted well The Wild Kratts remove all the mind control helmets of the Gekoes.& also Zack screamed like a girl & yells, I'L GET YOU WILD RATTS !' "THATS WILD KRATTS!" THE END
I had a lot of extra cotton yarn from making my daughter's market tote, so I made her a hot pad.
For the holiday Bazaar in November, I made a LOT of little knit stockings. It reminded me how much I enjoy a good craft project and how little mess a knitting project creates compared to a sewing project. I was reminded of 4 friends and family members who have taken the time with me over the years to teach me how to knit and crochet (My great aunts, my mom, Aimee, and Ginger.) Thanks ladies for helping me through the awkward stages of learning this skill so I can pick it back up whenever I like and continue learning new things with the knowledge, skills, and confidence you have given me. I think I you all everytime I pick up my needles or hook.
Website: Market Bag Knitting Pattern (and Free Video Tutorial) - Sheep and Stitch
Youtube: https://youtu.be/jHwBql133Zo?si=By6bXTEGzt3PLNUj
I made some mistakes my first time around interpreting the pattern, so I had to start again and watch the youtube video to clarify what I was missing. But once I got things figured out, it took me about 4 weeks of knitting as we watched TV as a family each night before bed.
The bag looked small when I completed it, but it stretches very nicely and adjusts well to most items you might want to put in it.
What I noticed was that since it took a whole skein of yarn + a little of a second, when not in use, the bag does not condense well. It takes up as much room as a skein of yarn would.
Also, the open lacework that makes it stretch so easily, allows rain/dirt to come into the bag. So it was good for my daughter's California vacation but it might not protect her books when she takes it home to rainy Seattle.
Yes, if I had another environmentally-friendly friend I wanted to make something for. I presented this bag to my daughter when she came home for the holidays. She had to travel so light that she was not able to bring a purse/bag to put her wallet in. She ALWAYS loves to carry a book with her wherever she goes, so she seemed happy to receive it and used it to take her wallet, book, and personal items with her wherever she went during her 2-week visit.
If I wanted to make something similar that condensed better, my mother told me to try something called "jute" (I'm not sure of the spelling) that is much thinner.
I have some more projects I am going to make with the leftover cotton yarn.
My kids are frequently asking if they can sell stuff to our neighbors. Not for a school fundraiser, just in an effort to earn some cash above and beyond their allowance. The boys normally want to do a lemonade stand but over the years, we have had the kids pop up stands in the front yard to sell paper airplanes, bracelets, hot chocolate...
However, living on base, there are some strict rules about selling stuff to prevent competition with the Government-run stores/facilities. So you have to wait for opportunities offered by the base and do it on their schedule. In Gulfport it was the quarterly garage sale. Here in Lemoore, we have signed up to sell stuff in a booth at the annual Holiday Bazaar.
I ordered some dog tags with the name of the base and "Christmas 2023" imprinted on them to sell as ornaments. With Shipping and handling, we paid $1 for each, the kids will get $2 profit off of each tag sold. I was surprised, these didn't sell as well as I thought they would. But my husband enjoyed passing them out at work, so it turned out okay.
