When I was a pre-teen my mom taught me how to crochet, and over the years it is something I have actually taken for granted. Yes I make baby afghan's and I make lap robes and it does pass the time for me. I never really think about it most of the time. I have tried to crochet an area rug using bread wrappers. I even crocheted a pillow, one I still use to this day. Well my little girl saw one of my patterns, which was of a bumble bee bug and for the last several months she kept asking me to make her a bug. I kept putting it off and putting it off. Well last night I did not really have anything better to do so I sat down and made her one. It took me about an hour and a half to make the thing. It was the first time I had even made it so it took longer than normal, but then it usually does when I make something for the first time with a pattern I am not familiar with. When I handed her her new friend her face just lit up like the sun. She wanted to hug the bug kiss the bug and would you believe that child had to sleep with that bug last night. I think I may ask her if she wants me to make her another one so that her new bug friend will have a brother or sister to play with.
