Monday, Monday...

Another week gone. It was a lovely, rather quiet one, and I'm grateful for the down time. Dan was gone most of last week on a forestry tour north of here, so I enjoyed puttering around the house and in my sewing room. I'm still working on the Little Dresses for Africa project and just completed my twelfth dress. Our total over at church is well over one hundred now. Some sweet little girls are going to be very happy in a little while.

Remember the fall table topper of my last post? I made a pillow to match! Those turnover packs have tons of triangles in them!! And a small confession: I finally purchased the Bernina ruffler. The generic one I bought years ago (and finally used last Christmas!) just didn't do it. The difference is rather like comparing one of those little can openers that come in C-rations to my wonderful pampered chef one. No comparison!! Here's the pillow:


The ruffle is perfect. I'm in love with a new toy.

Dan got home Friday night, spent Saturday helping at the Boy Scout Camp north of here, and Cameron and Keaton came to spend Saturday night with us while Eric took Ann on a date. We had a great time with the boys. They got out Dan's Lionel train set and added some "new" pieces now that they're older. Dan got that train for Christmas when he was eight, and it's been through him, his much younger brother, our son Matt, and now our grandsons. Close to sixty years old and still running!

Ann had her ultra sound last Wednesday and we're getting a new little boy! We love our little men!! We are looking forward to meeting this one about January 19th. Time to start stitching blue. :-)
