My grandson Ryan is staying the weekend with us and he and I got some hooking done today.When he was little he would sit in my lap (in my frame) and use my hook to poke the backing and he would tell everyone he was hooking.He would make a hole with the hook and then rub the hole till was gone.
He is getting so big now that he can't sit on my lap and me hold the frame too.So now he has to sit beside me to hook.Now he likes to play with the strips too.As you see here he may be a lefty.I believe in letting children try their hands at art.If it is paint,markers,yarn, wool or any other medium let them use their hands.
When my studio is done he and any other
grandkids I have will a place just for them to make art.
He loves hooking almost as much as he loves having his picture taken.Some of you may have noticed that I have changed this rug some.The middle lady has a
different hat on now.I just could not get the other one to work out like I wanted.
Here are two pictures of me hooking taken by Ryan.He love taking pictures too.For those that don't know Ryan is 3 years old.Later today we went to clean trees out of the driveway of the place Adam and I work.Ryan had a great time throwing sticks and helping Nana pushing trees around.
Live Deeply and kiss your kids or grandkids.
The table looked very cute.I used his trains and track down the middle of the table.
I made the placemats out of poster board.
Ryan and I mad candy trains for everyone.He had so much doing that.
And of course everyone had to dress the part.Here is Ryan and his Mommy and Daddy.
Hot Dogs is Ryan's favorite food right now so that is what we had.
Here he is about to blow out the candies.
Here he is in one of the train cars I made so he could go for a train ride.
Here you can see most of the train.He loved riding around the yard.I think fun was had by all.
