Pillows

We covered those old pillows yesterday. What do you think? We made the covers rather baggy so that we could machine stitch them closed rather than trying to do it by hand. Boy what a mess! It never dawned on me how messy it would be using faux fur. Don't ask me why it didn't occur to me that when you cut the material, you inevitably cut some of the fur. And that red fuzz would be EVERYWHERE!

It looked like we massacred Elmo in the front room. And we did it on the day when so many troop leaders were stopping by to drop off their registration packets. At least the material and sewing machine was sitting out so it looked like a project and not an every day occurrence. Violet found it extremely funny that I had red fuzz all over me including my butt as I'd stand at the door talking to the troop leaders looking so nice in their just from the office clothes. I assured her I wouldn't trade my fuzzy-butt producing life for theirs for anything.

No projects today. We played Borderline and Violet trounced me 3 games. I'm really not trying to lose. I wonder if she's cheating? Hmm. We also did a lot of school work and read more Mary Poppins.

Right now there is a chicken pot pie in the oven for dinner and I am trying to talk Violet into going ahead and showering now and putting on her jammies. It is cold enough tonight for footie p.j.'s. Fall has arrived. That reminds me, I did run out to the garden and harvested another handful of broccoli and some green peppers as well as an eggplant that might be ready, might not, but wouldn't survive the cold temperatures.

Winter's a coming!
