We're back from weekend #2 at the Muskogee Reniassance Festival, and it was kind of #2, if you know what I mean. Back to another week of running around trying to catch up and never having a day off, unless you count the two days this week we're going with the older kids for Field Trips. I do NOT call helping out with a class of kinder- or third-graders a day off. Especially when we're also taking Thing Three and Thing Four there as well, and I will be carrying Thing Five with me at all times.
We have so many pictures of the little girls because they get in the way when we're trying to take bodice pictures. I loved these two particularly because of the smashing color combinations they have put together (themselves). Mag's pants are a nice lavender, and Ivy is wearing bright blue snow-boots. It's the Crayon Box Girls! I personally think these are pretty cool things to wear.
I am LOVING my new sewing machine! I mean this as indecently as possible. Many, many thanks to Toby's dad, Brent for adjusting it properly with his newly learned sewing machine repair skills. It is so quiet and well-behaved and I can go so much faster without my thread breaking or my needle breaking. If you've never broken a needle in a 5.500 stitches per minute industrial machine, you don't know the meaning of fear. It produces a noise and a shock to the system that I hope not to repeat often.
Any of you ladies out there with cranky sewing machines in the area, call Brent. He makes house calls and is awesome! He has resuscitated every machine in the family, including all the ones that were long ago given up for dead and used for doorstops.
