Surgery Day

Sac Boy had face surgery today. He is doing fine and seems to be in good spirits. I think he is very happy to see and speak now ;) I put in his zipper this morning so now he has a proper tummy as well. I'm having trouble with his hands though. The instructions are strange. I may try knitting one just from my head and see what happens. Max is looking forward to his last procedure, head attachment!

I hope Mom can use a really LONG scarf. I was not sure how long it would block. LOL I guess now I know,heh.

I've also been working on making baby hats and market bags for a boutique in May. I am going to have a little table to sell things. So far I have 3 hats and 1 bag.

Pants are done. I have the belt pattern drawn on a paper sack. I'd like to make a few more adjustments to it before I start cutting. For sure I will get the ears and tail done today. The tail attaches to the pants somehow and the ears get sewn into the hat. I've been thinking about construction of the hat. I don't think it will be to hard. I am going to wait until the weekend for that so Max will be around for fittings as I make the pattern.

For Derek's birthday day we took him and Max to I Fly. It is an indoor wind tunnel. Each flight is 1 min but oh what a minute.

3rd Costume Under Construction


Max's Costume

Max got into the spring performance of Wizard of Oz. Guest what part! Flying Monkey, LOL. He was made for the part for sure. There was no pattern for his entire outfit so I am going to wing it!!!! I'm also going to make my own pattern for the pillbox monkey hat. It's crazy, I'm not sure what got into me but I figured if it does not work I can buy a pattern. I will make it out of butcher paper first then cut the fabric once I know it fits his head. Heck maybe I will do the same for the belt!

Back from vacation


I had a great time on vacation. My Mom and I flew sepratly into Arizona and rented a car together. It was a SWEET ride :) We stayed with my mom's cousin Jackie and her husband. They have a beautiful home. While there Carol another cousin and her husband drove over from their winter hang out, Lake Havasu. It was a mini family reunion. I'm glad my mom put it together. Love ya MOM!!!!
