They were known far and wide
June 1st, 2010A week of sewing: five pairs of shorts for Hazel, a mei tai for she and Alice, and three toddler art aprons for three kids just entering toddlerdom. Well, almost three. I need about five more inches of brown thread – the third will get finished up after next week, since I’m vacating this house on Friday afternoon so Mikey can write his second comprehensive exam in peace and then take off in our car to a few-day conference.
(New year’s resolution week 20: these are upcycled from goodwill-bound pants of Maggie’s and a shirt of mine.)
I also picked up the first component of Hazel’s kitchen today. By “picked up” I mean it’s in Walt’s van, waiting for Mikey to go get it when Hazel’s carseat has been relocated to my mom’s car and there’s space in the back seat. Excitement: barely contained. Barely.
Listening: The Freight Hoppers
(I am) Reading: The Poisonwood Bible
(Hazel is) Reading: Fox in Socks (More like I’m reading it, forty times a day – when the beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle’s on a poodle and the poodle’s eating noodles… <— I think I mutter this in my sleep.)
Working on: wedding jewelry; baptism gifts

Darling aprons! Lucky toddlers!

those look way better as aprons than they do as pants on a goodwill rack.
