Have I mentioned that I’m proud of my daughter? She will be 10 in about a month. Even as a small child, she amazed me with her ability to observe and her eagerness to try new things and test her own ideas. We were cleaning out her room recently, when we found this little felt crab she made when she was probably six years old.

It’s a gem, isn’t it?! She is good at capturing the essence of a thing.

Lately, we ran across the idea of decorating flip-flops with Lion Brand Fun Fur. We bought the necessary supplies and even found free instructions.

“Says here that you can wind the yarn around the straps or crochet over them,” I said. We agreed that crochet would be better. She figured out, on her own, how to single crochet over the straps, and decorated flip-flops for herself and her little sister.

“I’ll do some for you, Mom,” she said. Alright! And here they are.
