dat me doin fais-do-do in mama's kitchen

50% french, and 50% alaskan pioneer finnish, i am entertaining my 1oo% (cajun) french mama, nellie grace, by making Making Adult Bibs today

mama watched me cut them all out yesterday

i put a shiny purple ribbon around her neck

'now, you're monkeying with me she said!'

she still loves being included and having fun....
and fun, we do have!

and it will be my own competition with being handicapped
or handi-able.....until my broken wrist heals

3 hours to just flip the material flat and cut 3 sets

who knows if i can sew?

You are amazing! Mama sounds like she's enjoying being included in your activites. Hope your dad is doing better. And your nephew! I can tell nothing's gonna keep you down. Prayers for all. Hugs, Barb

P.S. I'm here in Oregon so if there's anything I can do to help just shout, please.

Love the bibs!

Who Dat? has been all the rage around here. And the song Look for the Fleur de Lis by a favorite student I taught a FEW years back! I actually taught Katherine and her two brothers, and they were all great kids!

Michele,
Come and stop at my blog- I am participating in the OWOH blogging festival. I am giving away 3 bracelets- perhaps you will be a lucky one..
Congrat's to the Saints -
I know if it is possible for you to sew you will find a way.
Hugs,
Anna
