Bill, finally a global warming theory I can understand -- and believe!!!
Doncha just love it?? I laugh every time I see it. [:D]
Yep, I do [:D] . . . already had to share that one with my girlfriend -- she enjoyed it too! [sm=biggrin.gif]
Garrett & I went out to water the flowers . . had to fill the bird bath, too. Have you ever known a little boy who could resist playing in the bird bath?? He never knew it was there . . until today. Oh Boy. What fun we had! [sm=funny.gif][sm=dance.gif][sm=funny.gif] . . . I had to run back in and grab the camera [:D]
Then, I had the hose on (sprayer) watering my plants, and he decided he wanted to walk into that and let it spray his face -- Man that kid loves the water!! That water is ice cold coming out of our 200+ foot deep well, but it didn't faze him a bit!
Well, we had to come in, strip off, take a warm bath, and put on clean clothes. Actually, was just going to rinse him off as he'd fallen on his knees & got grass & sunflower seed hulls all over them, but he had other ideas. He planted his bottom onto the bottom of the tub and wasn't gonna move until he'd had some more play time. Such joy this child has been to me -- and such a joyful child! I've not had this much fun since my grandkids were this age :D (not that they aren't fun now, but it's a different kind of fun . . Garrett just delights in new things, and it's such a pleasure to watch him)
Now 'waterboy' is down for a nap, tho not yet asleep. He was yawning all morning, so figure he's due for a good one. As soon as he goes to sleep, I need to get to sewing again.
I got another whole outfit from a customer this morning to basically remake . . . need to take the sleeves out of the top, cut it down to size, then replace the sleeves, after they are cut to size, then take the waistband off the skirt, cut off 5 inches of the length of it (can't take it off at teh bottom cuz it's border print), and replace the waistband. I already have a very expensive silk, lined jacket that I have the sleeves out of and have to cut down to fit her. Was supposed to take it in this morning, but forgot it. Owell, I'll get this top apart then take them both at once.
Also got a call yesterday from someone wanting their husbands pants taken in at the waist and hemmed. Then she said they were really too big in the legs, could I take some out of the legs too? I told her that would be quite expensive (at least $40), so she opted for the back waist and hemming. Today she called back saying they'd decided they wanted to do the legs too. That is basically going to require remaking the pants, just about. [:o] . . . Owell, it's work, and it's good experience. I guess [8D]
I'm going to post the photos of Garrett in my photo album . . I'll link to it once I get them done.
