Yarn Along : May 11

A yarn along of the day late and a dollar short variety...

Reading:

Deconstructing Penguins by  Lawrence Goldstone and Nancy Goldstone.  A really great book about how to discuss books with children and how to discover together the story underneath the story.  How to be a book detective or a story sleuth.  I am finding it both interesting and inspiring.  And a bit convicting too, since the chapter book read-alouds haven't happened in quite some time around here.  

Yarning:

I was searching for something in every nook and cranny that holds crafts the other day when I went peeking into the cotton yarn basket and saw a bunch of not-quite-done projects.  A few bowties and a few bibs and a few bands that I *believe* were supposed to be shirts for Corynn.  Now, I guess they will be shirts for Adele'.  Unless I set them aside again- in that case, Ineke.  I started those bibs waaaay back when for a certain Judahbear and thought "I know!  I should make a bunch to sell on Etsy!"  ha.  ha ha ha.

Good news is...I know a certain little girl who could benefit from a few new bibs.  I do think they need to be dolled up a bit though...
