I'm so crafty!

On Monday night/Tuesday morning, the West Virginia group arrived at Deborah's House.  This group is a bunch of crafty ladies.  They came with many craft supplies and materials.  They've been teaching me, and the women at the shelter how to sew, quilt, knit and crochet all this week.
On Tuesday, I helped to teach one woman how to sew a baby blanket.
Wednesday, I crocheted a necklace and made earrings too.

 Here is a flower pin that one of the women that teaches sewing here made for me. 

 The earrings I made.

 My necklace I crocheted.

Supper Wednesday night.  It was toasted bread, with beans and cheese on it.  It was very good!

Yesterday, Thursday, I made a rug out of ripped up fabric.  I learned how to crochet it.  Mine didn't turn out very well though because it won't lie flat.  Oh well.  It's pretty.

 Our lunch yesterday was pork and cactus, beans, rice, veggies and pineapple.  The cactus was interesting, but cooked with some very spicy chilies.

 We also had some jicama for a snack.  It's a root of some kind.  Tasted kinda like a carrot.

 Here's the rug I made!

Yesterday, I also helped to tie dye some sheets to make more rugs with.  Today, we washed the excess dye out of them and are going to dye some more later. 

Today, I learned how to knit a scarf.  I've seen these around a lot, and they are very popular, and now I can make them myself.  Isn't it pretty?

 I've been having so much fun crafting with this group!  I love to do crafts, but don't have time or don't know now.  Now I have time and someone/s to teach me!  Well, I'm being called to tie dye, so I'll update more later!  Take care!
