Sewing 101

We have been working on Emilee a new playmat/blanket thing.  I have been working on embroidering the blocks a few at a time and finally finished them all yesterday.  So Granny Katie  sewed it all together and then we had a group effort for the tacking part. We should have it finished by tonight for her to play on. 'They' say that black, white and red  are good for baby brains.  Not sure how much truth there is to that, but we made a pretty neat playmat anyways and later on she can learn to match the shapes.

Emilee checking out her new playmat, she kept trying to grap the images. I think we lost a sock playing in the exersaucer



Chance cooked Chili last night and then we had a tacking party. We had to use pliers to pull the needles through, it was quite funny.



I only got to tack one corner and then had to go fight Miss Emilee (who has decided the last four or five nights that she doesn't want to go to sleep at night).  So we are were rocking in the living room so Dad was filling in.



He even wanted to help make a burp cloth
