Pine Car Derby






Oldest boy competed in Boy Scouts Pine Box Derby this morning. Photography done by 4 year old sister. (mom stayed home with youngest) Car kit purchased three weeks ago - father and son were supposed to put it together. They painted it, Mom got the pleasure of gluing and weighting and balancing the silly thing around midnight the night before the derby.. Imagine that. Car took fourth place - it was a purple roadster.



In other news - Husband has promised me two new sewing machines with the tax return money. I'm getting a brother embroidery machine and a janome serger. I've been tracing patterns for over a week. Tomorrow I'll start cutting fabrics. I hope to have at least a dozen items cut and ready for sewing as soon as the tax money and my new machines get here. I'm really rather annoyed that hubby insists we wait for uncle sam! I have pleeenty of room on my credit card ~~ OYE ~~ the temptation!! This should be my final month of pregnancy, so I'd like to get a good start on all the summer clothes I'd hoped to make, it's just that waddling around that cutting table gets a little strenuous.
