The Fantastic Seam Ripper

Grandson has finished his very colourful shirt, which has been in the works on and off for some months now. Last of all he sewed the button holes for the buttons.

Then he discovered what a wonderful instrument the seam ripper can be. It sheared open the button holes soooo easily. This was real fun.

A few minutes later, our test patch looked like this:

Too much fun to stop. Luckily, we have no shortage of fabric scraps to serve as test patches in this house.

Pincushions

We met up with daughters, son-in-law, and grandchildren this weekend, and I got these beautiful pincushions as a late birthday present.

What a lovely, lovely surprise!

They have been made by a friend, Helen, who is constantly knitting or crocheting all kinds of lovely stuff.

Check out the cute measuring tape button:

I love them!!!

Thank you very, very much!!
