Albin and I had some alone time at the Sow's Ear yesterday. Look at that roving--isn't it gorgeous? He fished for lobster on Runescape, we played three hands of rummy, and I started (knitting) a new scarf, with my Fish Creek yarn. He is turning into such a nice young man, we like spending time with him : ).

Elise started drawing more outfits with her fashion design, but spent much of yesterday playing games and having a suzuki lesson with Greta. That's how I got alone time with Albin, and after I took him to a Magic-playing birthday party, went to the gym for a bit. I haven't been to the gym on a regular basis in a loooong time, so it was good to have time for that.

I started sewing Elise's pioneer dress when I got home (by hand, as my machine is not working). I was planning to take apart the muslin bodice for my pioneer dress to use as the pattern, but I couldn't find the seam ripper. I think it's in this drawer, so now I have something else to organize!
