Teacher Appreciation and Little Man finds a Friend

Well, it's that time again. That time where I frantically come up with little doo-dads for the teachers for appreciation week. Having worked in the schools as a speech therapist, I want to do soemthing they can use. Last year I did these cute little wristlets like the zebra one in my flickr. This year I wanted to do something similar but, since I'm sort of an ADD kind of crafter, I didn't want to do the exact same pattern. So I found this. Keyka Lou has the cutest little wristlet in a different shape. I love the way the straps close it all up.

                            
So here's the first one I did.

I thought it turned out very cute. It's great for a wristlet. It's a bit small for a camera unless you have a really small camera. I'd love one for myself but my camera is too big. Anyway, one down, two more to go!

My 5 year old son, Little Man, came in yesterday to tell us he'd found a new friend in the yard. "There's a snake!" Uh, yeah. Hubbie? Can you take care of that please? I do not like snakes AT ALL. I got that one from my mom. But I braved it for no other reason than to get a picture.

Here's Little Man's friend. Unfortunately (or fortunately, I think), they did not stay friends for long. Hubbie killed it (yeah, he doesn't like snakes either), and Little Man would not leave until it was over. Needless to say, I could leave. I would have gone to another state if it had been a choice...
