Month Twenty Eight

On Saturday Isabelle turned twenty eight months old and we brought her to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum.


Isabelle had so much fun looking at everything.

Hi rabbit!
She waved and said hi to the animals.

Scary
She tired herself out completely. She wasn’t freaked out by any of it unlike ME. I didn’t want to touch the dead stuffed animals (by the way which is very cool that you can touch them gently as the sign says). I was scared of the big brown bear. It’s another reason camping doesn’t sound appealing. I actually shrieked (well that sounds too loud, squeaked) in fright seeing the biggest insect, some creepy crawly thing, the size of the palm of my hand.

Playing vet
But Isabelle, was interested in it all. She especially loved the little discovery area where she pretended to chop up vegetables and played vet by wearing the toy stethoscope. Alan had to pry the little vet toys out of her hand when we left.

Project Number One Again

I said it might take me a month to take a picture of this shirt. But it only took me two weeks. :) At first I was only going to show the above picture. But then I thought it’d be nice to see it on me, to compare to the last one. I actually quite like this length, makes it easier to get into my pockets or to pull up my pants which seem to be constantly falling down (I need better fitting pants).

I used linen and I have to say I’m not used to the wrinklyness. I mean I’m not some neat freak, FAR FROM IT. I don’t obsessively iron or do much ironing at all to be honest. In fact I think the only ironing I do is in relation to my sewing. ;) I am used to wearing fabrics that don’t wrinkle like this, cottons and knits. How come the 100% cotton I buy from the fabric store is so stiff unlike the 100% cotton clothes I buy from a clothing store? Ok off the subject. I’m easily distracted. Back to the shirt.

The length isn’t the only thing I changed. I didn’t put elastic in the sleeves. I’m not sure about it though. It’s a little floppy. The next time I make this, I won’t change the sleeves from the original pattern. Because yes, I quite like this pattern and I will be making it again.

Are you sick of seeing the incarnations of this shirt? Well if you are, prepare to hurl. Because I think I HAVE to make this at least two more times. I have two more alterations in mind and then I will be satisfied. I think.
