The children found two gorgeous crab shells when we were walking on the beach the other day. We left them there, but they often ask to look at the photo I took of those funny smiley shells. Arlo needed a new jersey to wear to school so I sewed one up from dark grey wool jersey fabric, but it seemed a little plain. And then I knew what I had to do. I took a drawing he did of a pair of dancing, smiling crabs and made them into a freezer-paper stencil, and printed his new sweater with white ink. Voila- a crab top. Just what he always wanted.
