Dump the responsibility for the cooking competition to include documentation on our cook?

Mend the hole in the cook's shirt from where a stray spark took up residence between said shirt and skin?

Tie for first place in the cooking contest?

Frantic sewing this week for a coworker who “Fights With Foam”? to include a both linen and woolen fighting tunics.
 |
| Underarm gusset |
 |
| The sleeves were lined with a linen blend and hemmed with this nifty stitch that keeps the wool from fraying but doesn't add bulk. |
 |
| Triangular gore added to the center front and back. Quality materials make this so much easier. |

Need to start a gown for Sweet Daughter’s best friend (birthday party next Saturday).

Oh, and at some point, after spending a morning in the wind selling Girl Scout cookies in February, I decided our table needed to be upholstered. Sweet Daughter picked the font for the lettering. I am so not like other moms.
More when I come up for air.
Go you!
ReplyDeleteYou go Lady! I'll be far behind... Especially since I can't sew... :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you just should have used your last post's title & added, "part the second".
ReplyDeleteNot to mention keeping the Senior Surgeon of the hospital from starting to babble and walking out into the traffic to chase shiny things.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow have you been busy! Congrats on first place.
ReplyDeleteI thought I was busy...
ReplyDeleteWow. You should change your blog to Exceles at Everything.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely correct agirlandhergun. And yes, you are so not like other moms. Other moms, for the most part, dont know how to do any of that stuff, dont if they can, and wouldnt if they could.
DeleteI stand in awe...
A Girl and Her Gun - I agree! I managed to make make an English muffin and sew on a button. I feel rather deficient.

So, were you OCing your XD at the Girl Scout table (that would probably not be good for sales, but who knows?)?
ReplyDeleteCTone - I had a jacket on, but I wasn't trying to "conceal". It's a very gun-friendly hardware store, and nobody batted an eye except for the other Daisy Scout, but that's a post for another time. Let's just say she has been introduced to the concept of a tool being an inert object, and it's the person using it that makes it "good" or "bad". Her mom even agreed. Win.
