getting there

I misjudged (shocker!) how long my prep work would take

and Lexi didn't go to bed till after 12:30

so

I stayed up waaayy too late last night

getting my quilt pin-basted.

It's been quite some time since I've done any quilting

so I put together a fat quarter sandwich

and practiced a bit this morning.

I love the look of stippling

but I think I like the drapiness

(spell check doesn't like my word. hmm)

of a looser meandering stitch a bit better

so I'm going with that.

Josiah has been itching to sew lately

and he needed a wallet

so

Brandon helped him make one

check out those stitches!!

There is a pocket for bills

a pocket for change,

both velcro shut

and

a magnetic snap

so when he folds it in half

it stays put.

great job, guys!

Tony is a full-fledged waiter now

having finished up his (extensive) training on Monday.

Lexi wasn't real happy for him to head out the door....

We are so proud of you, Bud!
