As of yesterday Mia has her first cold! Poor little babe is all snuffly and snotty. However she is in a really great mood, so i don't think she feels too awful.
My mother and I have been hoarding as many soft all wool sweaters from thrift stores as we can for covers. Mia and I are staying with them this week so were cutting out as many covers as can. My mum cuts out the cover and I do the rest! I have discovered the secret to a really polished looking wool cover is woolly nylon thread in the upper and lower loopers of my serger. The whole modified drill press as a snap press thing has worked really well. Except for the fact i have to bring my dipes out to my husbands work shed to put snaps on them! Eeek! So many power tools and chainsaws...what is up w/ dudes and chainsaws anyway?? Anyway.....
So today I will be setting elastic in a whole bunch of covers. Enough to cover my sisters baby-boy-to-be (due Nov. 23) Theodore (a.k.a Little T) and my 5 month old Mia.....yay for three step zig zag!
