Franklin gets Crafty

The weather is doing that wonderful thing it does sometimes in Texas. It is being perfect. This past weekend our heroine found herself sipping coffee on her porch enjoying The Warmth of Other Suns...and the warmth of the regular old sun, getting far more than her prescribed 15 mins of sunshine.

Then she and Franklin embarked on a journey southward with their dear Canadian friend to Bellaire where there was much crafting to be done, most notably the construction of darling decorative spheres. A delightfully messy process

including string, glue, balloons, and Vaseline. As should be expected the Amazing One-Legged Girl dominated that yarn, but she got covered in glue in the process.

The crafting fun continued, fireside. Knitting away on a no-longer-seasonally appropriate scarf for her relative to the north.

Aside from the crafting and good conversation to be had, naturally there was mass consumption of char-roasted sugar puffs...aka SMORES.

Our heroine has an exceptional skill when it comes to the proper roasting of a mallow, the melting of the chocolate and the distribution of the graham. It was truly an exquisite sight to behold.

The crafting continued the following day, with FINAL completion of that daunting scarf and the fabrication a little felt sleeping bag for her Kindle. Such an exhibition of craftiness has not been witnessed since the legendary six foot papier-mâchéTobasco bottle of 1999.

Tomorrow its back to less pleasant battles, including her first physical therapy session. Exciting as that is, she would rather roast a mallow.
