Yeah the gap just kind of happened. *shrugs* It works, though, because of the twin thing lol.

My grandma had 8 kids in a span of 20 something years

My dad is the oldest of four; he has two brothers and one sister and the span is fourteen years. So my own family isn't that much different except for sexes haha.

I don't know what the distance is between my dad's siblings or my moms....

mine is 3 girls and 5 boys, (all together)

My mom has a brother who is five years older than her (same age as my dad, less a few months I think), but she wants nothing to do with him due to some major issues he had and bad choices he made, taking advantage etc., so she basically doesn't have a brother...

Ahhh that's interesting.... Has anyone done any cool crafts lately?

[femme gauche]

Not really. Working on a scarf with kashmira (Jo-Ann's has their own line of yarn called "Sensations" and it is mostly acrylic stuff of various textures, but this is a really nice and springy 100% wool worsted weight and I just had to try it) using a pattern from a stitch pattern book... except I am using a garter background instead of a stockinette background because I wanted it to be double sided... even though the pattern doesn't show up quite as nicely this way. I just bought $30 worth of less-than-$2-each t-shirts and sweaters for unraveling/cutting up into yarn to try and put up on my Etsy shop. I still haven't sold anything, but I figure if I have more things it might bring more views to my page...
