Our kitchen table needed covering–we don’t eat at it much, it mostly holds groceries and boxes and backpacks and such. But we can’t use tablecloths, because a member of our household pulls them down, every time. So, I was thinking, “fitted tablecloth”? Do they make such a thing? And then… can I make such a thing? I might have been able to sew a cover, but decided that it’s easier for me to crochet. I used various fabric strips from Trash for Teaching in Gardena, so it worked up quickly, and the results are stretchy enough to hug the tabletop, and cushion it from any sharp corners.

Another weekend, another sleepover, another tea party for two little girls in the front yard. Peanut butter sandwiches, orange smiles, bowl of blueberries, cheese and crackers, plus mint tea with honey and milk. Favorite random linens.
