Bat Cave

And she didn't stop outside, my Big Sister brought the Martha Stewart inside tonight to create a little bat cave for her four youngins. I haven't seen the evidence yet, but I've gotten word that she also has a bit of an ant invasion in the dining room as well....

Bavarian Crochet and Family Rivalry

I've been crushing on Bavarian Crochet for some time now, especially after seeing some super cute pins by Marta McCall (thanks, Marta!).

The Wool Eater blanket by Sarah London

And if you like that, you'll definitely love the potholder version by Julia Vesper:  

So I borrowed a book about Bavarian Crochet from the library and thought "this is totally within my skill set." And then I messed up.  And then I messed up again.  And then I cried to my mommy and asked her to figure it out for me.

Of course my mom, a pattern-reading expert and a doily-maker extraordinaire, had no problem following the instructions and showing me the error of my ways.  And today, just to rub it in, she emailed me this pic:

Thanks a lot, Mom.  Way to pour salt in my pinterest-induced wounds.
