Tuesday Tot Craft Time: Apple Crown

The first preschool drop in craft time at our library this season is one that we did there last year, but it is still a fun one.  My son made an apple crown in celebration of apple season and Johnny Appleseed's birthday.  They provided us with 3 different colored apple cut outs and 2 stripes of brown paper.

The kids colored their apples with markers.

This was my favorite apple that my son colored.

I stapled the two brown stripes together and then stapled them in the right places around his head.  Then I stapled the 4 apples around his crown.  This was a fun craft for the kids to do.  We are looking forward to the next one.

Cable Cowl & Crochet Soda Tab Bracelets

I finally finished knitting this Kool Aid dyed cable cowl last night.  Its a late birthday present for my mom.  When I got here, all I had left to do was the ribbing, but I could only work on it while my mom was asleep or at work.  I finished it last night and gave it to her this afternoon.  She liked it, and it is her favorite color.  She had requested it after seeing the one that I made for myself last year.  To bad she really can't use it until the winter.

This pattern came from an issue of Vogue Knitting.

I Kool Aid dyed the yarn last year.  It is lionbrand fisherman's wool.

Here are 5 of the 6.5 small soda tab bracelets that I crochet today.  I'm using a rainbow yarn that I bought yesterday.  I lined them up so that you can see how the color changes in the yarn.
