Family!

 

My son and granddaughter arrived a couple of days ago. Their flight was delayed by 2 hours and they finally got to my house about 10 PM, and they were hungry! So I fed them, and they both perked right up. 

The next day they came over and my DGD and I baked a cake and then I asked her to crawl under my worktables to fish out some fabrics and tools I had dropped back there.

We added the stitching for gathering the skirt on the Dino dress I am working on. DGD expressed an interest in sewing herself, so I Gabe her a strip of fabric and let her practice.

The next day she sewed the hem on the dress.

My son took pictures of us, and he asked us to be a little bit silly.

Jet lag finally caught up with the both of them.

A Dino Dress

My granddaughter will be visiting next week and she has expressed a desire to sew with me. I figured I better get going on her dinosaur dress.  I have completed the bodice, above, and assembled the big parts of the skirt. All that's needed is to gather the waist and attach it to the bodice, then sew the hem. My granddaughter has no sewing experience, but I think she would get a kick out of doing that part.

I've really enjoyed the Olympics. I love watching the Equestrian events along with Water Polo, and that's in addition to the usual - gymnastics, swimming and tennis. Then again, pretty much anything is interesting to watch.
