Mrs. Ladybug's Crafts

I'm hoping this will turn out to be the best way to document what has occurred over the last several months while the kids have been in foster care. While Hyram and Isaiah have made leaps and bounds in their progress towards independence since they were removed from their mother's care in July 2013, our experience with DCFS and the foster care system has been mainly frustrating and heartbreaking. I plan to document not only what occurred during our visits with the boys, but hope to be able to link photos and other documents that show what has been occurring since July 1st.

I am also hoping to be able to password protect these entries to protect the children and make them private.

Here's the link to my tutorial for adding a crocheted edging to any hemstitched article. Burp cloths, receiving blankets and bibs all can have the hand crafted look through this simple method. It's a quick gift that any new mother will appreciate. Hemstitched articles ready for you to embellish are available at many fabric and craft stores.

Two more projects finished for the Ravellenic Games! A small reticule and Carl's scratch mitts. I'm hoping to finish Miss Price's M3 Gloves tonight and get started on the snake mittens for my boys.

I spent this afternoon fixing my maternal family tree in preparation to continue researching her paternal grandfather's line. Ive been told over and over that it's all taken care of, but no one is sharing the results. That means I'll have to risk the possibility I'm going back over that what's already finished.
