Irony

I had to take a picture of Johnny tonight. We have been enjoying trips to Hobby Lobby, first to get homeschooling supplies/crafts for the kids, but we also enjoy crafts for us. I have very boring non-athletic hobbies...aside from my music, I like logic puzzles ( i just got a 20 pack of puzzle books..) blogs, reading...um super nintendo..eating. Although I used to enjoy the time to do scrapbooking,  I am not very good at it or crafty and don't know how to use 99% of the stuff Hobby Lobby has, but would like to learn.

First we got latch hook sets....I am embarassed to say I screwed it up...twice! I was almost done too. I wanted to hang the latchhook rug in Frankie's nursery...but there were 3 different greens, and I assumed wrongly...these colors look a lot darker without flash, but anyway, they had that dark blue-green color on the right, designated as the "bright green", when I assumed "bright green" was the middle, bright green one...I ran out of one of the greens at some point and realized I messed it up...

   Anyway, we got a new one and John and I made sure the colors were correct before starting (this one has FOUR different greens lol). We also picked up a cross-stitch set, that John wants to complete and frame for his mom when they visit for Frankie's birth...neither of us had ever done one, but thought it looked pretty easy. We were wrong! We were clueless, and after watching a few youtube videos (that weren't very helpful) we figured it out ourselves and though it takes forever to get a lot done, it's pretty cool.

  So, I just find it ironic that John, this big lumberjack looking guy, is drinking his beer and...cross-stitching! He's a little embarrassed  (Norman and I tease him) but I find it cute and I am sure Louise will like it.
