We had a fun and busy day today! I didn’t realize that the Primary school parade would be going on right as I arrived to deliver treats for the class party, so Anna and I wound up being able to watch all the kids in their fabulous costumes. Turns out there were two mummies in [...]

My brother Michael and I took the girls to the Strong Museum today while Denis got some outdoor work done. (And thank you again, Michael – I could never have kept track of the girls in that zoo by myself!) After that, we managed to carve out a bit of time to carve our pumpkins! [...]

Continued from yesterday… Not so many pictures today – it’s too dark and dreary out to get any decent photos – but I (mostly) finished the shirt. To do the sleeves, I had to pick out the seam with my trusty seam ripper. Then I sewed the strips on flat, starting near the cuffs. (I [...]

Carolyn wants to be a mummy for Halloween. However, we went looking for a mummy costume and were really disappointed in what we saw. They either looked goofy or, at one store we visited we were horrified to find an inappropriately “adult” mummy targeted towards 4-10 year old girls. Yes. A mummy with a bare [...]
