• Dec. 18, 2006 - Sew, Sew Two Weeks

Last week and this week we are working on gifts. Yes, I know we are a little late here, but it has been a hectic year with lots of company incl. my mom being here for the month of November. So, now we are SEWing. Last week we tag teamed to do an outfit for my granddaughter, Molly and Rebecca's neice. I sewed the skirt, Rebecca (17) made the hat, and Molly (8 with some help) made the scarf. Leona (dil) had not been able to send Jordyn's measurements so we had to briefly use a *live model*..... aka Noah (Noah is 5mos older than Jordyn). I think it turned out very nice. The links to the patterns/ideas we are using are - Joanns hat & scarf Charity Pattern VeryGoodThings easy fleece hats Yesterday, Rebecca with some help with tweaking the pattern completed a hat for Bryan (20 and in army boot camp) and a fleece skirt for Molly that matches Jordyn's hat. Last week Becca also made a doll skirt for Molly's doll to match and a hat, but the hat must be redone as mom messed up on the measurements. Now the marathon begins! I still need to help Molly sew 6 scarves. Rebecca has 8 hats and 1 skirt to make. And I have  3-5 skirts to sew plus all the helping and oversight. Should I mention baking too? Or that we have a batch of kittens due this week? Or the cheese I need to make? What was I thinking??? LOL I really do love my life!
