Last week
Christina asked how I manage to get sewing done when the kids
are awake. Yesterday was a perfect example.
I set the kids about
coloring stained glass pictures (markers on vellum) and once they were set, they barely noticed that I was stitching next to them. We were able to chat and comment on each other's artwork and everyone was happy and occupied for a while.
I think the key here is to be prepared. Not only do I keep my travel sewing kit in my bag, but I usually have a project or game for George to occupy himself with should we find ourselves with time to kill. If I don't plan ahead and bring something for him, he usually gets to play Angry Birds on my phone, but it's much nicer if we can do something separately but still be together. (Give him that phone and he zones out pretty bad).
The blog tour continues with
Ara Jane today, make sure you pop in and tell her what you've been stitching~
OMG I think I have the same dress as you only mine is purple! Lol! I like your colourful hexis. I am going to make my first one this weekend after I go to the quilt shop and buy some paper pieces. May I ask what size those are in the photo?
