Much Better

It took 3 days for me to finish the previous post because so much was going on.  First,  Todd was not happy with the haircut he gave Walker so he took him to a shop.  Todd sent an email picture but he looked even better in person.  When they came over for make your own pizza night, you could tell he was pleased.  In a few years the girls are going to really go after him.  I do hope it is a few years away.  Of course this grandma is not biased.            Thursday was a big day for another reason.  Caregiver Cindy has always said she would not sew as I had started most of the caregivers.  Well she finally asked me if I would help her make an apron for a good friend.  She didn't want just a basic apron, but a 50s look with ruffles.  When we went to buy fabric we spotted one of the clerks wearing just the perfect look.  It was not the easiest pattern because of the curves but I thought she could do it.  She picked companion fabrics so all was good there.  When she began cutting out I realized how little she knew and how nervous she was.   Friend Kathy once again came to the rescue.  She filled a bobbin, threaded the machine and corrected a small cutting error.  Even better she told Cindy that the iron was her friend.  We started sewing the ties.  After she pressed them she realized the iron was good.  It took most of the day to make it but she did it. Our Cindy took pictures of cg Cindy's apron to send to Kathy. When cg Cindy made the yeast dough for the pizzas she added Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese that was delicious.  It was a great day for someone with low self-image.
