Homemade Snuggie

I'm sitting at the computer, in a cold room, trying to keep warm. So I am trying my daughter's bathrobe on backwards. My front is nice and toasty. This works well, except my back is freezing. In the commercials you usually see the person lounging on a sofa, but I can't lug that thing in here. Guess I really need another robe/snuggie on my backside. Or I could just go back to bed!

Bear with Some Assembly Required

My granddaughter came to spend the day with me today. She brought with her a build-a-bear kit that she got from her other Mimi. I sewed it together and Toots stuffed it. She did an excellent job. She chose the decorations for the little green jumper that goes on the bear while I ironed them on. It turned out to be an excellent gift with loads of fun in making it. And the best part of the day is that right now she is asleep with the bear.

Proof in the Viewing

The kids were thrilled with my clothespin people ornaments. (See previous post.) Many marveled out loud that I could have made something such as that. Questions flew as to how I did it, how long it took to do, etc. One young lady remarked that I was very good at making things and that I ought to make things. Okay. I didn't pass them around, and the children did not ask for me to do that sensing how special the ornaments are. The students have asked if they can make their own ornaments to take home. I have many ideas to choose from, many involving cutting and gluing, even a few with painting. They should prove to be an exciting time for them and a small nightmare for me. If only I didn't have to teach...
