Summer Update

We have had a fun summer, with several visits from Eleanor and Thomas. They especially enjoyed "swimming" in the pool. Eleanor and her mom went to Boston when we did, and we enjoyed sightseeing together -- and riding the T!

Here's a tiered skirt made for Miss E using two Debbie Mumm companion prints. I used clear elastic to gather the tiers, which worked pretty well.

Sewing for Eleanor

I have had fun this spring getting back into sewing. I've recently made five dresses for Eleanor (and three to match for Pink Bear).

This year R & R were at his parents' house, and C's mom was in the nursing home, so we just had three around our table for Thanksgiving. But the food was good, and the table was pretty!

Patrick Graduates!

My baby graduated recently -- doing so in three years! We are proud of him. Here's a photo of the three of us in our regalia.
