Sunday Morning here in Paradise

DD1 has a new passion - chess. DH challenged her to a game. Unfortunately for her, he won.

The board and pieces where mine when I was a little girl. Given to me by my dad..... They were his board and pieces when he was a little boy. My dad turned 81 last November.

She sews

Finally!!!

Lost my motivation for awhile there. DD2 is going to a birthday party tomorrow.

To say she is excited is an understatement. So what gift to give the birthday girl?

A pencil roll was requested. so a pencil roll was made. This afternoon we are buying a colouring in book. Hopefully a "My Little Ponies" one.

So the only other sewing I have done this year? A very simple skirt for DD2, made back in January. And it is out of My Little Pony fabric! It is a very basic skirt but she thinks I am clever!
