Sewing Playdate!

We (Da'Gorgeouses and I) had such a wonderful time at GrdnGirls house today. Da'Gorgeouses had a blast playing with Red, and I had a great time learning how to sew with his mom, and the "Flower" that she had teaching us was and ever so patient lady. It was so very nice to have time to sit and chat, and wonder, and figure out all this new stuff (VERY new to me because she'd already had some practice on her machine). So today I learned how to wind the bobbin, thread my machine and sew a straight stitch (with the correct type of thread). Even though those few things took up all of the time we were there, I have to admit that I'm inspired now. I even came home and sewed a little on my machine tonight (I still haven't finished those fraternal twin dolls yet). On the way there, Da'Gorgeouses were already looking forward to playing with Red. When we got there they were so animated, chasing Red, dancing, talking up a storm, poor Red they probably left him just short of exhaustion (although, if that was the case, I'm sure GrdnGirl didn't mind too much).

I even had an opportunity to view GrdnGirls creations up close and personal. That mini-book she made is super cute, and now she's using her craftiness to get ready for the Harvest Festival at Red's pre-school. How she comes up with all this stuff is beyond me, and that robot costume Red will be wearing, seriously looking to win some costume prizes this year.

I'm already looking forward to the next time!
