Latchhooking



Jenna has discovered latchooking! She caught on quickly and is enjoying this fun craft. The McCarron girls also took up an interest. On this day Jenna invited Mallory over for a latchhooking playdate. Mallory likes to work on whatever color fits her mood while Jenna sticks to doing hers row by row. Eitherway, they both made significant progress together!

While I will probably seriously regret posting the next picture one day, I just couldn't resist! Jenna is not the only Martin intested in latchhooking.....



Boys can latchhook, too! Right?!?!? Right??!? (sigh) Early one morning I found Jacob hidden away on the other side of my bed secretly working on his sister's rainbow unicorn latchook! Being the extremely open-minded mother that I am, I asked him if he would like his own and later that day we were off to Michael's. He picked out a fish latchhook and is almost done with it!

For the record, Tom is absolutely horrified by this whole situation. He thinks I have Jacob "sewing". For those of you that know Jacob well, you can see how this truly is something that he would like. There's a "map" to follow, one right way to do it, and it's all neat and perfect looking when you're done. I have no idea where he gets this mentality from. :)
