Friday morning
Not much to say here. The endless parade of days.
Ellis got his first pair of scissors. He is thrilled. Scissors, markers, glue--my goal for him to learn these this summer. He spent almost an hour in rapt scissors and washable marker attention yesterday.
My screen printing exploit failed. I didn't use good material for the screen, and it ended up kind of smushy looking. (Following this tutorial.) I'm almost done with a new skirt, though.
Sorry. This is turning into the most boring blog ever. But, hey, the day is done and that's what happened. Scissors, a few weeds pulled, hair cut, dinner, bed. In between, I sew, read, plan a baby shower, a birthday party. It's kind of nice not to live in Grad School Crisis Mode, though I think I tend to retranslate that mode into other areas of my life.
Ellis and I are off to Lancaster today.

Did you buy him Fiskers? They have such a comfortable grip.

Cool-- Ellis is using scissors already! I had some issues with scissors when I was about five, and I actually had the privilege of using them taken away from me twice (I had to ask for it back for Christmas). I cut my bangs a few times, disastrously, and I also added fringe to several items of clothing and houseplants that weren't supposed to have fringe. =) Anyway, when you listed scissors and "hair cut" as two things that happened yesterday, it made me giggle as I remembered my own self-inflicted bad haircuts. Hopefully Ellis will stay away from his own head.
Happy Anniversary!

Well, we don't want the scissors too comfortable!
