Baking, coloring & cards

LiLi was on school break last week so Weds Popster picked her up to spend the day with us. I worked in the morning so the two of them took Molly to dog school & had a piano lesson.

I barely pulled into the garage at lunch time & she was at the door "Come on Nana we have to get the store to buy the ingredients for the pie" I grabbed a quick cup of coffee & off we went. I just trailed behind her in the market as she walked around with her basket, shopping list in hand. Every time she put something into it she would say "This is the brand we buy" The child cracks me up!

We were making Key Lime pie & she basically did it all. Has decided she was to be a Chef. Specifically "Chef LiLi"

While the pie was baking it was on to coloring her fabric....this going to be sewn into a case for her iphone....we didn't get that done as it wasn't quite finished

The pie is done & BTW it was delicious!

Sharing pie & playing war with Popster

We had a very full & fun day

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom. Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week. We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart. As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!! It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked. Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater. I don't want to be doing this again for a while! While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday. All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot.
