Not only have I held myself accountable to my stocking buddy, Kim but I am now holding myself accountable to ... ummm .. Heather. And anyone else who reads this sorry blog.
So Tuesday at 2, I will be stocking some things. I have to make the drawstring for a pair of pants, and then I have to enlist the hubby to help me make a light box and get some lighting for it so I can get good pics this weekend and get everything listed.
The bead I was going to sew in the middle of a flower on a purse i made will not happen because it is too large and I don't like it. I want something glittery and fun, so I think I might look for a button instead.
Tonight the tides will turn, and I will become the mother of a 4Her and not be one myself (not like I was one last year). But this year is # 1's first year in 4H and I can't wait. I can't wait to see what she wants to sign up for. And this group sounds wonderful, assigning mentors to the younger kids to give them encouragement and help when they need it.
I was going to see if she wanted to take a knitting project. Then I remembered ... she doesn't know how. This is when it all comes down to what it was like at my house during project selection time:
Me: Mom .. can I take sewing THIS year, please?
Mom (eye twitching): Hey .... you know what I completely forgot to tell you? Since you did so well in school today, I'm buying you a hamster.
Me: But Sissy already has three.
Mom: I know! Don't you want one for yourself.
Me: I guess so.
Mom: Great. Let's go get one. Oh yeah and hey ... did you know you can take hamsters as a project in 4H. Wouldn't THAT be fun?
Me: YEAH!!!!
Mom: Great ... grab your coat.
Me: Can I name him Lucifer?
Mom: Honey, as long as his name isn't Singer, I don't care.

cool, can't wait to see the finished stuff. Probably won't log on tomorrow I will catch up this weekend. I could always come to you and take really excellent photos of the stuff with my professional stuff, but it wouldn't be until sunday.
