present making and broccoli
Just a little peek at the momma's presents.
I finished up the sewing things for my mother's day gifts yesterday. Now I gotta find some store bought stuff to go with them. Keely was being so cooperative and actually letting me sew. She was playing at the table with me and then she wanted some Raffi on to dance to. Ugh! But hey she was content and I sewed like a mad woman and then as I am almost finished my stinking machine goes all wonky on me. The stitches got all baggy and crazy looking. I did everything I could to fix it. Wasting my time and I was getting mad because I was SOOO close to finishing. I sat still and looked at the machine and realized Keely had changed ALL the settings when I had gotten up to iron something. Little stinker. Well, I fixed it and finished them up. whew.
Yesterday, Keely and I spent the morning at the beach walking. We found some interesting things: an old Leggo man, a huge bright green stalk of broccoli (what the ?), tons of ladybugs, 2 purple jellyfish, 3 floating life jackets (that can't be good), and a bald dog with just one crazy patch of white Einstein-like hair on his head. Very odd day at the beach for sure. I did not bring my camera because I figured maybe, just maybe the poor child would like to be with just me and not have a camera following her around for a change. I do wish I got a shot of the broccoli though.
