Worked on several things...finished none...

Hey I'm Penny, the mom. This is harder than I thought... I worked on several things today and finished none...how's that? Some days are just like that, I suppose and not necessarily a bad thing. There are days that if I only do a few things or part of some things eventually they will come together.

I did sort through my embroidery threads and color coded them, they look so pretty.

I started crocheting a new wash cloth, I bought two new colors of Peaches and Cream cotton thread, I just fell in love with. One's called Orange sherbet, reminds me of a dreamsicle...my favorite...the other is a bright orange called Sunburst..such beautiful colors...I enjoy crocheting it's very relaxing to me.

Everywhere I go I have this zip-lock baggie with a ball of my favorite yarn and my crochet hook in it...whether I'm waiting at doctor's office or riding while my sweetie's driving in traffic...just makes me calm and happy...

Our First Post!!

This is going to take some getting used to. =) Where to start? Okay, introductions. We are a mom and two daughters and wanted to share a blog about our crafty projects, crafty fails, craft rooms, crafty finds, and in general, all things crafty. :) Penny is the mom, Jenn (that's me typing) is the oldest daughter and Ally is the youngest. We will each probably do our own introduction posts later on.

We thought we'd try doing a blog together to get a broader range of topics and such...plus I don't think one of us has that much to say all by herself!! On that note, I've pretty much run out of stuff here!

Oh! Our name! "Our Genes Are Crafty"...well, we've inherited a lot of craftiness from our mom and I think that will show a lot in later posts. We also inherited an extremely overactive imagination and a tendency to get a little scatter-brained without a list. So, we felt "Our Genes Are Crafty" described us quite well. And to end this first post, I was going to show you a picture of us from a long time ago...but there aren't any on the computer! One of us is always the camera person!! =) Soon, though, soon.
