S & S Wednesday Jan. 12

I started the day with cutting out and sewing on

curtains for Melanie's kitchen.

I mentioned started, right?

The K was here today. Need I say more.

She decided to try to help me, she wanted

to learn how to sew, thread the machine, cut

with scissors, and play with the top spool

of thread as I was sewing.

She kept climbing into the chair with me,

literally hanging over my shoulder, learning

way too much for her little mind and my

peace of mind.

The little monster has learned to carry her,

my step stool around to reach anything she

isn't tall enough to reach. You can imagine,

the stool is carried from room to room.

So I put the sewing away, hid the scissors,

moved the chair, and prayed I could interest

her in another activity. Making cupcakes caught

my eye as I looked in cabinets for something she

could help me with. So we messed/made cupcakes.

Then, when they were done, she didn't even

want one. Saved more for those who will eat them.

She sure was wound today. Running thru the

house, screaming, laughing, dancing, and

just wanting hugs and kisses, as she's my daily

little lovebug. My poor kitty, she will have to

find herself a higher place to take naps.

Kiley decided today, if she isn't napping,

Patches won't nap either. Naps suddenly

turned into 20 to 30 minute rest periods.

Doesn't leave much time for me to accomplish

things I get done during those naps.

Where, oh, where does the energy come from?

Next week we start a whole new hanging at

Gr-ma's house times. Melanie starts her college

courses at Lewis and Clark. Oh, happy

evenings a'coming for Gr-Pa.

So commenced my Sewing and Sweets day.
