At the end of last week Emily and Ben’s family had to make an unplanned trip to Iowa for a very sad event in their family. Their unplanned trip put Emily’s plans for working on the girls Halloween costumes on hold. Prairie wants to be Diego this year so Emily looked on Esty and found a patch that she could order. I told her not to worry about it, I would take care of ordering it. I got involved in all my activites in Houston (and did not really have a good internet connection) and just did not get the patch order. Yesterday I knew that I had to make it myself. (I know it is not an exact circle – but I am hoping that my 3 year old granddaughter will not notice – I think that I will stick with quilting.)
I had the patch completed and called Emily to see if she wanted me to do anything else. She said I could make a Diego vest – so I do. I completed it about 15 minutes prior to my classes starting. Man am I glad that the post office is just 1/2 block from my house. Ran to the Post Office and was back in time for my class to start.
The last thing that Emily has to deal with on this costume is the hair issue. Prairie is insistent that she has “Boy” hair, in fact, she wants to cut her hair. Stay tuned for the end of this story.
Have a GREAT day!!!!
Hey, your blog is very good, found while in search for trademarks info on msn and it has very related information on it. Will be sure to come back again and bookmark.
Your patch looks great. I am impressed as always. So sorry to hear about Ben’s sister. That must be so hard for them and his parents also.
Isn’t it great how the “rescue hero” disguised as mother can effortlessly (Ok maybe not that effortlessly) change to the “rescue hero grandma”. The vest and patch look great and I am sure Prairie will be thrilled with the costume- so will Emily. What would we do without mothers?
It looks like you had a fantastic trip to Houston. What an honor. I look forward to seeing more about it on your blog. The quilts are breathtaking and I am sure the photos don’t even do them justice.
