WEEKEND CHANGES

This “sister smock” took longer to make than the other two did together.  But is sure is cute :)   I made a couple of changes – because the material frays pretty easily, I did french seams on any seams that would have been exposed.  I took one of the buttonholes out twice due to my error—not the machine and also redid the gathering stitches for the same reason.  Other than that it was a snap:)

My super nice son-in-law replaced the light in my faux foyer.  I forgot to take a pic of the old light – shiny brass, shape similar to this only very  ugly

and now I have this  -












it looks like oil rubbed bronze and the shades are not white but kind of glazed.
new foyer light
I really like it.
Other than that, some straightening of the sewing room, watching the politicians in Washington and listening to the rain outside.

Love the light, Vail. Even subtle changes make us smile.

Glad to hear you had a fun time at the hockey game, we use to go to the ones in Erie and always enjoyed ourselves.
