One of our favorite afternoon outings is at the tide pools. So many wonders to explore. Ruby loves to take pictures of all she sees. Ginger loves to run around discovering and touching. I love the peace of it all, and also come home freshly inspired. {polka dot baby sun hat available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/bluecorduroy?section_id=14189413&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1">here</a>.}<br />

We've finally gotten some rain here, and it feels like a holiday!! It feels good to get some winter weather and get cozy on the couch with a good book, or movie, or cuddly kid! I've put some new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/bluecorduroy?section_id=10741580&ref=shopsection_leftnav_6">pillows</a> in the shop including some <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/178531749/decorative-round-crochet-pillow-in-teal?ref=listing-shop-header-1">new round ones</a> crocheted with a bobble stitch, and a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/178531185/decorative-granny-square-crochet-pillow?ref=shop_home_active_3">granny square pillow</a> I like to call <a href="http://bluecorduroysewing.blogspot.com/2011/10/evenings-at-beach.html">"sunset at the beach"</a>.

This girl! This girl is a natural business woman. She quickly went from selling lemonade and flowers at the top of the driveway, to selling out of her products at our local kids craft fair, to offering a fantastic pedicure to a growing list of clients, to opening her own etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RubybytheSea?ref=ss_profile">Ruby by the Sea</a>.</div>

There are countless ways she is learning through this process, and as a home schooled 6th grader, she is fortunate enough to learn in a very hands on way. She is improving her crafting skills and refining her taste and style (as we all are continually doing, right?). She is gaining computer skills as she learns to navigate and list items on esty. She is learning good vs. bad customer service, expenses vs. income and how they relate to one another, perseverance, photography, item descriptions, materials sourcing, time management, accounting, and the list goes on. Watch out world, this girl is going for it!<br />

In other news, I finally got a smart phone! I feel so grown up. My favorite part is now being able to join in on all the Instagramming fun. If you do instagram too, please, come find me and introduce yourself! (I'm <a href="http://instagram.com/emily_bluecorduroy">emily_bluecorduroy</a>) It may take me a while to get used to taking pictures of everyday things, but I'm hopeful I'll warm right up to the routine. So far I'm totally loving seeing my friends daily photo updates.</div>

I really love this time of year. Every empty moment I am sitting on the couch knitting something, preparing for the Stitch Market. I love the feeling of finally getting to set up my display, waiting for the moment the customers start filling the room. It gets so busy. Everyone is cheerful, the music is playing, there's platters of cookies and treats to nibble on. If we're lucky it's a little cold outside so that it feels like winter. This year I'm especially excited because our Stitch Market will be a THREE day event, to make that excitement last just a little bit longer. If you're local, come join us in welcoming in the holiday season!!</div>

They love to draw, glue, paint, cut, and all the rest. I totally love it too. And I love watching kids get excited at what they can make. Teaching crafting is so different than teaching math. In math there is definitely a right answer. In crafting the only right answer is, "I love this". At least that's my goal when I craft with kids.<br />

After crafting with my own girls on a regular basis, and teaching sewing, knitting, and crochet in a classroom setting, I've developed a few<a href="http://lollipopscards.com/2013/10/crafting-with-kids-a-survival-guide.html"> survival skills for crafting with kids</a>.

I used to knit in college. I knit all my surfer boy buddies hats. I loved stripes. I even made myself a few sweaters. And then at some point, I stopped. Years later I picked up crocheting and loved it. I didn't knit for about 10 or 15 years.</div>

I bought myself some new bamboo knitting needles. I used to use my friends grandma's hand-me-down metal ones. I love the click click click of the metal ones, but I love the smooth glide of the bamboo ones.<br />

Living as long as I did on the East Side of Santa Cruz, it was normal to hear the young surfers call out with pride where they were from and where they felt they belonged. You would often hear "East side, my side!", or "ESL" (east side local), or "East Side Pride". This was in opposition to the surfers on the west side of town. The West Siders.<br />
<br />
Now that I live on the central coast, it's fun to see the young surfers do their Morro Rock handshake, or their "3 stacks and a rock" hand sign. <br />
<br />
I'm bringing that pride of place and belonging into my living room. Pride of family. We may start spray painting this "W" in random places, and we're definitely learning a hand signal.<br />
<br />

We rode our bikes down to the bay this morning for some coffee and hot cocoa, to read our book, and to test drive a new hat pattern I'm working on. All favorites.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These hats can be made in sizes newborn to 24 months. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are made from lightweight cotton, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">some vintage prints, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">some modern prints. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They have a chin strap, because I don't know about your little ones, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">but mine often tried to pull theirs off, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and once they find they can't they seem to just give up trying. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What I might like the best about these hats though, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">is that they are washable!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">As a young adult, my main mode of decorating my living space was with plants. They were my little friends. I loved how alive they made a room look, and tending to them was so rewarding. Then I had babies. I discovered I couldn't tend to both babies and plants in an effective way, so the plants were either given away, or endured a slow death.</span></div>

I just love how Rachel from <a href="http://smileandwave.typepad.com/">Smile and Wave</a> styles her home, and here she has a great collection of plants in her bedroom with wood and metal accents. </div>

This trio of hanging plants is so shiny and fresh! Elsie has a whole how-to on how she made these vintage hanging bowls over at her blog <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/05/hanging-vintage-brass-planters.html">A Beautiful Mess</a>.</div>
