We are in Fredricksburg having a three day triple birthday celebration; Lil John, Granny, and Rodger all have birthdays in August. Big John and I have narcolepsy. We thought we'd been decaffeinated, but that's not it. Perhaps it is keeping baby out of the three hundred and sixty two breakable tchotchkes in the living room turned playroom. The babies are having a wonderful time playing with their Granny. Tomorrow John is dropping us off at Ri's in our attempt to milk every little bit of fun out of the summer before school starts for Miss Ella on the sixth, not that preschool isn't the most fun thing of all. She'll be the oldest child in her group..ie..the oldest child in the school. I'm the one feeling intimidated by that fact.
I brought a few little sewing projects, but I haven't even managed to finish cross stitching a tiny little chicken. After that I'm making a backpack out of some too tiny Levi's of Ella's and stitching a flowery tablecloth and napkins for Ella's little table in the kitchen. I have this vision of a vintage "children's table" when she has friends over and also just to play with. She likes to set a pretty table. I'm looking for vintage juice cups with flowers; the table cloth and napkins are blues,greens, and yellows. Maybe some old Corelle flowery plates would work for children and have that fifties style.
