At home

Here is the Girl, let loose at last on my sewing machine! This symbolizes my respect for her increasing age and wisdom, as the machine is a fancy-schmancy one and I don't let just anyone use it.

She is making a patchwork cushion, which she hopes to finish tomorrow. The Boy meanwhile has been planning his latest cardboard extravaganza - an Orca whale tank. Almost life-size. It'll be awesome.

And I've been busying myself with domestic challenges of one kind and another. Who would have guessed at the stain-removing properties of damp cornstarch? It's amazing what you can learn on the internet.
