So you'd better look out. We are here. Henry's been sick for 2 weeks. We discovered on Tues. that he's got an ear-infection. Kate hasn't pooped for 5 days. You know that blog content is slim pickins when "poop" is used in back-to-back posts. He's also been talking in non-stop rhyme, fyme. What do you want to do, foo? Give me some milk, filk. I'm hungry, fungry. It was all fun & games until he got a hold of a sucker….
Amid all the internal distress plaguing the young ones, I have been doing a lot of sewing. The above superhero cape for instance. 'Cos every boy needs one, right? I made ones for the neighbor boys upstairs, too. Not all superheros need work alone.
Henry picked this fabric out (shocker) last Christmas. I finally decided to make him a small blanket/quilt as he's taken to pulling Kate's off her while she's sleeping (mostly late night car rides home- when he just wants a blanket, too). It's just big enough to cover him. Perfect for the car, perfect for the couch and a great back-up when the superhero cape can't be found. It was small enough that I could channel quilt it on my machine, so I'm feeling pretty proud of myself for that (just don't look too closely). A few more washes and I'm hoping it will get that worn, quilty look on top. I made a yellow linen hat for Kate and skirts…I can't stop making myself skirts. More pictures of that later.
On a different note, I am organizing a "Nie Nie Benefit Sale" to help raise money for Stephanie & Christian Nielson. They were in a private airplane crash on Saturday. They both survived (sadly the flight instructor did not) and are being treated in AZ for severe burns. I will post all the details of the sale in a few days but wanted to throw it out there now so you can get your thinking caps on, because I really need your help. Please be thinking of things you can donate (esp. all you etsy shop owners) to be sold in a 2-day online event in September. You can follow the Nielson's progress here.
More to come…
