Sewing with Nikki

We finally have everything from the boat put somewhere...well, it's stashed and sorta hidden.  Luke is off running errands while I get to watch the rain delayed Chicago NASCAR race! 

We caught up with friends Susan and Gordon on Saturday night. It's great to see them again.

 During the day on Saturday Nikki and I shopped, had lunch, and got manicures.  Perfect for daughter/mother bonding!  On Sunday she came over and spent the day learning to sew.  This wasn't her first experience with a sewing machine, but it was her first at using patterns to make something.  And she did great!  First, an apron for herself...


Next (yes, TWO projects in one day!) she made a baby bunting for a best friend's newborn.  Teddy Lee offered to be a model for the bunting.  Teddy Lee (also fondly called "Salad" --- no, no clue) was my brother's favorite stuffed animal, handed down from me when Don was only 2.  Teddy Lee lived with Don until he passed away.  My sister Beth inherited him and kept him until she passed away a year ago.  Now I proudly and sadly have him back.  He's special.


This baby bunting will be special, too.  After all, how many wee ones have a widdle blue spider bunting???

So, we are relaxing and enjoying our time here.
