On Monday Josie asked if 'we' could make god's eyes as Christmas ornaments for the classroom tree and presents for her classmates. Her job appeared to be putting initials of each recipient on popsicle sticks and picking out the colors for the first two.
I'd tried earlier to teach her how to make these, but the yarn proved slippery, and the super glue needed to finish the work off was tricky and messy, and she only got frustrated. I made two with her choosing the yarn but realized that it would be better just to devote my time on Tuesday to listening to Pride and Prejudice and making the rest of the needed ornaments.
When I was in Junior High Home Ec., I had a home project which was to sew a muu-muu--which I did with quite a bit of help from my grandmother and her treadle machine. In fact, I rather suspect that she did most of the work.
We got an A on the project. And now, I feel, I've done my grandmotherly part on Josie's project.
