It is pretty bad when you almost forget your login between posts…
So, a bit of an interruption.
Today, while trying to finish up work on our taxes to head to our CPA’s Alli was wanting a bit of help. She brought down her tiger and asked for a shirt. Being so focused on the taxes, I didn’t hear her say shirt and I was assuming this tiger was a girl… Alli, knowing me ever so well, continues to asks and also throws in some short cut ideas to help me out. I tend to make the project bigger then it needs to be, so I don’t always get them completed to quickly. Sooo, I did take a break… and made the tiger a dress. Only to be reminded by Alli that she wanted a KU t-shirt, “a v-neck would be nice” she said. So back at it again.
Now, before you think I did some amazing things today, yes, I am very happy I made her tiger the shirt, but there are many places in our home right now that are not as cute as the shirt. 😉
Also, since I am finally posting, we had a Mom and her sons and daughters drop by on Monday. The girls have arrived from Haiti. 🙂

(You can click on their photo for more details from them.) It was almost unbelievable to have them in our living room. To watch Suzanne be Mom to two little girls -who still speak Creole and can say “stop it” in English. I think on several occasions during their brief visit, my heart just wanted to melt. They have been waiting for two years, and now they are here, their family is looking the way God intended it to.

The dress for Alli:s tiger reminds me of my mother and when she made my doll a pair of jeans. She met me at the back door and gave them to me. Alli will remember the time you took to make the dress.
