New 'do

Long hair isn't really my thing. I never had it and I don't know

how to do anything with it. Georgia's bun closely resembles

a rat's nest every Thursday for ballet.

Still, she seemed happy yesterday morning when I was

able to give her these 2 slightly off-center

and wopperjawed* ponytails for school.

*wopperjawed is her new favorite word...

Movie Night!

Georgia borrowed the Ratatouille movie cookbook from the library and we tonight we made Remy's Mac & Cheese for dinner. Georgia was really excited to help and did a great job.

Bon appetite!

Georgia has joined the local Daisy Petals* group. She is very, very, very excited. We went to the first meeting tonight at the leader's home down the street. The leader is the mother of one of her classmates. The group is small, just 5 girls, and it sounds like there will be a lot of crafts and snacks - 2 of Georgia's favorite things!

*Daisy Petals, I believe, has replaced Brownies as the first step toward becoming a Girl Scout.

Sunday Project

I finished this project tonight. I bought the pattern at Sew to Speak when we met the Burgoon family at COSI for Christmas.

I was a little nervous about trying something like this because the structured nature of it made it seem a little too difficult for me but I decided to give it a try. I made a few mistakes - the flap is flipped the wrong way, the strap is my own design because the green chenile fabric on the original strap ripped , and I did not use the proper form of interfacing, making the bag less structured than it should be - but overall I am pleased with it.

I've definitely learned from my mistakes and will make some changes when I make it again.
