Yesterday

crepes

A double batch makes about 30 crepes and takes about an hour to cook. If I had two pans, would that take it down to 30 minutes? Three pans, 20 minutes? That’d be nice.

I must say that seeing Liv’s little finger so close to that blade freaks me (and her) out, but she did really well. The serger is incredibly fun. I need to think up more reasons/ways to use it.

burprags

I cut the fabrics into some uniform shapes and sizes, and we drew up a number of layout options. Liv made the two on the top. Abby spent the day reading, and Veronica spent most of the sewing time drawing a Marauder’s Map on a brown paper lunch bag. We’re going to make a bunch more today.

As for the rest of it- I didn’t get to the shawl, I still have to put my laundry away (the kids did theirs), and I didn’t break out the steamer. But I DID put in 30 minutes on the elliptical!!! I’m hoping that as I exercise more, it’ll be easier to walk afterwards. Yesterday, I was painfully shuffling around for an hour or so. The quilts weren’t touched, but it’s first on Liv’s list today. So once I get dressed and eat, I’ll help Veronica sew a burp rag and Liv with her quilt.
