Welcome to the September 2000 edition of Linda's Crafty Chronicles. It's hard to believe that Summer is over and Fall is beginning. Children are back in school, days are getting shorter and the weather is changing. The year 2001 is not far off. I hope that you will enjoy this issue and come back for more in the upcoming holiday months.

Back to School Fun
By now most children are back to school after a summer break. The following are a few sites that are of interest to children
and their parents. Remember Fun, Food and Homework(not necessarily in that order).
Fun - Here are a few sites that are rated kid safe and have a lot of fun games, coloring pages, etc... for children to relax
with after a busy day at school:
Panda's Play Pen - This site is more for the younger children.
toottoot.com - Children's Stories, Pictures, Jokes, and Facts!
Funschool.com - Fun learning games for children from preschool to sixth
grade.
Food - These are sites with a lot of great ideas for lunches and snacks that are nutritious and fun:
Ideal Snacks for Children
NNCC Snacks for School Age Children
Healthy Snacks for Toddlers and
Preschoolers - Also links to site with snacks for infants.
Homework - These sites are great when it comes time for homework. They help that child without doing the work for him
or her. You can find everything from math to social studies and science
Homework Helpers -
Volunteers that will try to answer your question within 24 hours

Either you have had a County or State Fair in your area our will soon have one. Maybe you have decided that you would
like to put one of your projects in next year. If so, here are a few tips and ideas to help you in your quest for the red, white
and blue(red - second, white - third, and blue - first).
Remember to go there to have fun and enjoy all the work everyone put into this event.

New Patterns
I have a few new patterns this month. I have made a new buttonless towel topper but this one is a little different. It has a
basic top for the main part but the button part is different. I have created several different tops for the button part and will
add more as the seasons and holidays change. The ones for this month are a flower, butterfly
and wreath topper.
I also have a pattern for a Pug(pacifier for the layman) Holder. This is very simple and can be
thrown in the washer after you remove the pug. It is simple and inexpensive to make and uses scrap yarn.
