This is cool!
I found this on you tube and thought this was too good not to share, especially if you have children. This is just a grand find.
Leisure Arts on YouTube has Crochet videos geared toward teaching children how to crochet.

Craft tutorial:old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments
Tutorial
How to resurrect old Glass Christmas Ball Ornaments
Do you have old ancient glass ball ornaments lying around that have the art wearing off of them. There is a way to resurrect those old ornaments into looking like you just bought them.
All you need is.
GLASS Ornament balls that have the artwork worn off or almost worn off. I am not sure it will work on anything other than the old glass ones.
a container round or square
Dish soap and warm water.
Tree tinsel any color
Band aids (Be careful those edges are sharp. Especially don't handle them to rough or drop them. eek)
First in a large pale or pan fill with warm water and dish soap about half way up.
Immerse the ornaments one at a time rubbing your fingers gently on them to rub off any excess color or decoration. soaking them as well. Until all the color and stuff is off them.
Then once all dried inside and out take any color of tinsel Mine here are all silver.
And I would probably take something rather skinny and not sharp stick poke the tinsel inside the ball carefully. Fill them up to the rim of the ball.
Then place its topper on and voila you have a virtually brand new ornament.
They glisten in the multicolored or white light and are beatiful decoration for any tree, wreath.

I'm thinking
Of putting the original doily pattern up on the blog. What do you think? Do you love or hate the idea. I got to thinking last night and decided to ask you. I thought if yes I would put it up here for easy access. And you could still try the defective one if you liked it more than the newer pattern.
Let me know in comments what you think. and if you like it I may do it on a regular basis.

Lets do something interesting.
Now, I know we all started from scratch when we crocheted meaning the first thing we ever did. Didn’t turn out like it was supposed to the first time.
Me I confess that purple hat that is on here that I made for my mom. Turned into a first time disaster. And it was shear luck I did decide to try it on her in plenty of time even though it was to a present for her. Which was actually pretty funny when I think of it now. Though back then I was so embarrassed that I had gotten it so small that it didn’t fit her head. I was glad though for the time to redo it and make sure it was correct. She now wears that hat proudly every winter.
LOL If only I had taken a picture of it when I first did it just for laughs. It was amusing watching her try to put it on while giggling.
Then there was the granny square trials. Now those I do have and here are the results.lol
You can definitely tell a difference here in my progression or regression whatever you want to call it. But I didn’t just stop trying to get them correct. I kept going and kept trying.
And yes, I did succeed. You can tell by the green one in previous posts
1st one
second one
Okay your turn now. Post on your blog with photos of your first tries. And put a link in the comments section of this post.
Don’t be shy. Everyone has had these tries in the beginning.

She now wears that hat proudly every winter.
LOL If only I had taken a picture of it when I first did it just for laughs. It was amusing watching her try to put it on while giggling.
Then there was the granny square trials. Now those I do have and here are the results.lol
You can definitely tell a difference here in my progression or regression whatever you want to call it. But I didn't just stop trying to get them correct. I kept going and kept trying.
And yes, I did succeed. You can tell by the green one in previous posts
1st one
second one
Okay your turn now. Post on your blog with photos of your first tries. And put a link in the comments section of this post.
Don't be shy. Everyone has had these tries in the beginning.
Me I confess that purple hat that is on here that I made for my mom. Turned into a first time disaster. And it was shear luck I did decide to try it on her in plenty of time even though it was to a present for her. Which was actually pretty funny when I think of it now. Though back then I was so embarrassed that I had gotten it so small that it didn't fit her head. I was glad though for the time to redo it and make sure it was correct. She now wears that hat proudly every winter.

On the blogs I requested
I retract that as of now. I won't be requesting any thing like this for quite some time. Due to something unpleasant.
I will not go into detail as it is a closed matter.
It just has soured my experience for the time being of making new friends.
Thank you for understanding. and please no comments on this one. Lets move on.
I will have some new stuff on my work in progresses soon.

Another Delay.
This revamping is taking longer than I had anticipated. I want to be sure of Accuracy and Clarity.
So I'm taking extra steps to ensure that. If all works out. Possibly no later than next week I will be able to have that picture and the new pattern up.

My Newest Doily Project
Is coming along great. I should have it done soon. This time no peeking until finished.lol
This time I’m doing it in white, don’t know what color or pattern I will do next. I may eventually try making my own doily pattern. But, that’s still to be decided.LOL If I can really get the hang of the doily thing that is. So hopefully in a couple days I will have a nice freshly done doily picture posted. Keep a look out.
Wooo Hoo
I got two awards that I have placed on the side panel here. From the Ravelry games.
Note: I thought it was posted here.

A word of advice for beginner Crocheter’s
When you are beginning to try out Doilies.
You should always live by two rules
1. Use the hook specified in the pattern.
2. Go Simple the more simple the pattern the more chance you’ll have of accomplishing the task of learning.
I recommend this doily to any beginner. http://www.daintycrochet.com/doilysweetdaisy.html
This is the one I’m currently trying out. I’m doing a lot better than I had been. my tension maybe abit loose I don’t know. I do know I should have started with this one at the very beginning. LOL
I will have a work in progress photo of it soon.

BEADED CANDY CANE ORNAMENT TUTORIAL.
Materialls Needed
Needle nose Pliers
Chennile ( I used silver. But you can use any color you like they make them in many colors)
Large hole beads (Assorted)
Taking a piece at any size you want your candy cane to be.
Place about 15 or so beads on to your tinsel.
Once you’ve done that with the rest of your Chennile tinsel start wrapping it from the bottom part of your left over wrapping it around and between each bead until you have it completely covered.
The do the same for the other end making sure that the rough edge of the chennile won’t scrap skin by taking your pliers and wrapping them around in on them selves.
Then bend one end into the shape of an Candy cane.
