Becca started piecing her quilt yesterday. She was sewing like a woman a-fire...at one point she said, "This is SO addicting!" She's a funny girl -- that Becca.
When I left to pick Parker up from Cub Camp, she insisted on staying home to sew. This meant that while I was in line for pick up, I got a frantic call from Becca that "something" had "flown off" the sewing machine, and did I think it was broken forever? No. Not forever.
She had actually broken the needle. So we slipped a new one in place and her addiction continued. I finally MADE her go to bed, and right now...she's sewing away again. I think I might be in trouble. I thought this one $8 project would last her a while. But if she really is addicted, as she claims, we could be in trouble. Fabric is pricey.
I also have a number of pictures of her sticking her tongue out. What is it about sticking one's tongue out that enhances concentration so completely?
Now, if I could only become addicted to washing Parker's cub shirt EVERYDAY, or making dinner EVERYDAY, or taking a shower and putting on make up EVERYDAY...I'd really have things together over here.
See you are a good mom - my kids don't even know what a sewing machine is. Of course, I don't have one and can't use one, so I guess it is all my mom's fault my kids can't sew! How is that for passing the buck?
