humble beginnings

Whinnie SPRANG out of being sick over the weekend and hit a serious creativity jag. She told Papa that she wanted to make a house — out of construction paper. So at the kitchen table they sat and created this: from construction paper, markers, tape and glue.

In addition to the grandfather clock there were windows with curtains and carpets and a family cat and a variety of food items in the refrigerator.

It was lovely to listen in on their ideas and negotiations while I cleaned out our (not from construction paper) refrigerator.

A Sewing Moment

I do not enjoy sewing.

I enjoy being able to make things.

But the actual process of sewing? Nope. Just not happening for me.

This fabric was chosen (months ago) to be made into curtains for the boys’ room.

Unbelievably, almost, my old workhorse sewing machine, despite not having been used for a year, was ready to go. There was a full bobbin in place, everything worked, no broken needles or snapped thread.

And so the curtains are done & hanging in their room. :)

One more thing off the ‘to do’ list.
Maybe I can finish these gloves tonight. :)
