Sewing and bowling

I had the most delightful morning this morning! Elsie and I hung out in our jammies and sewed and chatted. It was so wonderful it almost inspired a little pity party in me, over the fact that I don't have a daughter. We made her the cutest little purse. She has great taste in fabric, and is a quick learner. She did an excellent
job manning the foot pedal on my machine as I helped her feed the fabric through.


She decided she wanted the purse to be reversible, so one side is orange and pink polka dots with a cupcake pocket,


and the other side is orange with bright pink and blue flowers with a polka dot pocket.

























I guess I shouldn't feel too sad about not having a daughter, Grayson was so jealous of the time I spent with Elsie this morning, that he's insisting he wants to make a purse too!

For our afternoon activity we went bowling. We lucked out and had the bowling alley all to ourselves. Elsie ended up being the big winner, much to the dismay of at least one of my ultra competitive boys.




















Fuller and Gabe kept us entertained with an impromptu soft shoe number while waiting for their turns. What silly boys!



Once they were done bowling they relieved me of all of my quarters and played some arcade games. It's been another fun day with the cousins!
