Back To School Blog Hop

The Thankful Thursday Design Team presents:



Back To School Blog Hop


Hello! I'm glad you could join us today. Hopefully you just hopped over from Amber.  If not, please head on over to see our hop hostess Jenny so you can start from the beginning. We don't want you to miss out on any super cool projects. :)


Here's the hop line-up for today. Make sure you didn't miss anyone.


So, as I've shared in past posts lately, I've been selling some of my crafts at my local farmer's market. Among other crafts, I do quite a bit of crocheting and knitting. I generally do most of my crocheting and knitting during the long winter months here in Minnesota.

My project that I am sharing with you today is the Sock Monkey Cozies that I have been crocheting lately. I think they have been turning out so cute and I get lots of great comments about them. What does this have to do with Back To School?

Well, my husband convinced me that I should give some of my Sock Monkey Cozies along with some tea or cocoa packets to my sons teachers when he starts back to school. We have to get him on his teachers good side right off the bat. :)  We don't start here in Minnesota until the day after Labor Day, but I have plenty of these cozies already made and ready to go.

    


 




Let me know what you think and thanks for joining us today and we hope you enjoyed our projects.

Here's what I've been up to so far this summer. I've been crafting quite a bit and selling my crafts at my local farmer's market on Saturdays. My family and I took a trip and spent a week at a beautiful cabin on a lake. It was wonderful. My youngest son has been staying busy with Summer Junior Golf Lessons, hanging out with friends and going to the library.


I decided to make him a messenger style bag out of duct tape to carry his books in to and from the library. He loves anything in camouflage so I found some camo duct tape and some black duct tape and made him a bag.





Thanks for joining us today and we hope you enjoyed our projects.
