WIP Friday

Friday. Last day of the school holidays. We went to see a theatre production of "Pinnochio" this morning. Alice was mesmerised. Beth was sent nearly demented by the smell of the smoke they used for special effects. Remember the smoke they used to pump into nightclubs? They probably still do. But that was the smell. Every time the fairy appeared, there was smoke. And she appeared a lot. And Beth couldn't get out of there fast enough.

When we came home, I asked Beth what she would like to do while Alice was asleep. She casually replied "Umm ... sew a skirt." Her mother's daughter. So, we did. Two in fact. One for each of the girl's because they have a birthday party tomorrow. I put the sewing machine pedal up on the table and Beth pressed it for me. Yes, I have the patience of a saint. The novelty wore off after a while, but she came back and forth, choosing trim, offering advice, asking questions. Lovely.

I should have taken this photo earlier while we really did have a WIP. I still have some ribbon and buttons to attach, so it is still a WIP.

Hopefully, the finished shots will appear very soon.
