Catching Up

No new pics today, I'm afraid.  I have done a bit more sewing; I'm now up to fifteen Hot Cross Buns blocks.  But I'm also out of bits, so time to dig up scraps and cut more!

I did hit up a couple thrift stores yesterday.  The drive up to the two I like in Port Orchard is long enough to knock Jazzy out, so it's strategic for me - I get to treasure hunt, he gets a nap.  And Squiddle is easily bribed to be happy about this with a packet of fruit gummies.

I acquired seventeen 8oz canning jars for about a quarter each (for jams! cherry, blackberry, and blueberry seasons are imminent!), some construction paper for Squiddle, a couple sewing patterns, a plant pot and a hanger I intend to use with it, and another packet of scraps.  Which I intend to cut up for more hot Cross Buns blocks. :)

And afterward, we went to one of the parks that's closer to our house-to-be, where the boys got to play until they pinked.  Yesterday: hot and sunny.  Today: cool and damp.

Today, we went over to the house-to-be and got a demo of the sprinkler system from the current owner, as well as debating whether or not we want to take the pool table that he doesn't really want to have to move.  And I got a question answered - the three fruit trees are two apple and one pear.

And, on a final note, I'm a little sad.  I'm done breast-feeding Jazzy.  He's two years and eight months now, so I've probably let him have nursies longer than most mothers do.  And he's been tapering off on his own the last few weeks.  But we/I set a deadline, since I'll be away from him at Costume College later this month.  Which is actually the same thing we/I did for Squiddle as well, but a year earlier in his case since we were also going to start trying for Jazzy then.  But still, I am a little sad.  I have nursed my last baby....
