It was a fun night with lots of learning. Tonight's lesson was in cross-stitch. There was a lot of excitement and questions. They did very well listening and watching instructions. We had just enough time to review the cross stitch and the running stitch, get our materials, and do a few stitched before heading home.
I gave them their AofF flashcards and notebooks. The notebooks were "cool". I think those were the words out of thier mouths. They were pretty excited about thier Easter treats. It was just something small that had a journal in it, some Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls.
It was a successful night. I had seven girls here. Two were from an investigating family that came with Baylee, and Kiley Gray came this evening. It was exciting for me.
Just before the closing prayer, we talked about the possibility of having a sleepover to learn more about and work on our cross-stitching. I started them out on the plastic canvas with yard and big yarn needles. After that, we will graduate to a regular cross-stitch kit-just a small one-2inx2in, I think. They can choose from either a butterfly or a cute pair of girls jeans that reads "So Chic" underneath. Finally, after that one, I have a special kit that they will only work on here during Activity Days; for Mother's Day. It says, "Mothers are Special" with roses below the wording; also 2inx2in. They were all very excited...about all the projects. It was a successful night!
