First day of Crafts at House of Martha

The team spent the day at the House of Martha doing crafts with all the children  - yarn art, spin art, knot tying, finger knitting, loomed potholders.  First on the schedule was to take a photo of each child to get ready for tomorrow's journals.  Kevin helped with the photos.

Sam taught knot tying.  Many of the older kids came to

help the younger ones.  They all acknowledged that they

knew how to tie their own shoes (the youngest being

5 years old).  The most surprising thing was the little

girl seated closest to Sam who watched and listened

intently and then tied each knot perfectly the first time.

Sam told her she must be an "old salt" the way she could

tie knots.
