friday - what did i do Friday? what did i do Friday? must have not been all that exciting...
saturday - CRAFT DAY!! Woz came down with her sewing machine and she sewed her butt off. she hemmed our kitchen curtains and made new ties for them, she made me tool pouches, THREE to be exact! she did all kinds of things! sewing is cool! i wanna learn how to sew.
she also brought fabric to make little gift pouches out of. awesome fabric that has been DISCONTINUED! she got the last two yards they had. =( when i learn how to sew, i will make all my own gift pouches. yay!
saturday evening - S1 brought Princess and her friend, Carly, over. they saw that i was about to start making some cuffs so they wanted to make some, too. they wanted cuffs with their pictures on them. done! i made them kind of cartoon-ish looking in photoshop and they came out so good! the girls loved them. they made christmas cuffs, too. "i'm gonna wear this one on christmas eve cuz it's got presents on it and that's when we open presents". "well, i'm gonna wear this one on christmas day cuz that's when santa comes". "but i can wear this one on christmas day, too, cuz i get more presents on that day."
i also taught them how to string their own jewelry and how to finish their bracelets with the crimps and how to use the tools to do it. Princess caught on quick! she needed help, sure, but she picked it up. Carly did really good with the stringing. she made her mom a bracelet for christmas (which she already gave to her). i think they made about seven pieces each. Carly said i was the coolest. way cooler than her aunts! did i get anything done of my own? uh.. no.
we took a break to roast some marshmallows and make smores. during that time, Rosco snapped at Carly. nobody saw what happened, but Carly did have tears so i knew she was scared and something had to have happened. no broken skin. all good. but this is where the story gets good. the next day, i had forgotten to tell her mom about the incident. well, she called to ask me about it and i told her everything i knew. the whole time, Carly's in the background saying, "don't be mad at her. she did everything right". her mom wasn't mad, she just wanted to make sure Rosco had all his shots up to date. he does. she said that Carly was afraid she wouldn't ever be able to come back over. cuz, you know, i'm the coolest!
sunday - i went to "help" little miss baby whiney wuss (S1) chop and prep for turkey day. webster's defines help as: offer aid or assistance; to contribute. NOT DO ALL OF IT! in the time it took me to chop two onions, a green onion bunch, and a celery bunch, she had managed to chop up four stalks of celery. and not even as small as she wanted! you would think she watches enough food network to learn her way around a knife. ummmm, not so much. i felt like a was watching a samurai chef the way she was chopping... and she wanted to make fun of ME??? i'm all about Rachael Ray style chopping! it gets done quick and easy and no tears from onions. no wonder she wanted help. good god, man! at the rate she was chopping, i now know why it takes her so long to prep.
that is all. until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.
