T-Bird Anni Rides Again

My mini muffin has spent a blissfully happy day sewing badges onto her camp blanket.  Now, to be fair, some of the sewing will make her cringe with embarassment in a few years but not all of it, and the more she has done the better she has got at it.  And she did all the needle threading for herself (it’s a reasonably large eyed needle but still, she jut got on with it)

When she wasn’t bein domesticated we also went shoe shopping as her toes were at the end of her shoes.  I ended up measuring another girl’s feet in Brantano too as her grandma didn’t know how the gauge worked and the staff all looked to busy to ehlp her.  Poor kid, her feet were 2 full sizes bigger than her shoes, which were litterally falling apart where her feet were pushing out through them (and it was raining so her socks were dripping wet)  I got the distinct impression that after Grandma had bought new shoes (and dry socks) she was going to ahve Things To Say to the girl’s mum.  I kept my head down and hoped Aprilai didn’t say anything about her shoes being too small too!  Do wish they could make shoes that flashed warnings up when they were too small!!! 

meanwhile, I am plotting implausable schemes for scraping my overgrown limipt child off me for long enough for me to produce at the very least an outline for part 2 of my TMA (I threw part 1 togehter before she woke up this morning but I can’t be that lucky again twice can I?) 

Whiskers hsa obviously been outside (in the rain) and has now just walked across my text book and my PC keyboard whilst rubbing her soggy fur across any bit of me she could reach……. The result?  paw prints in my book (I guess I’m not selling this one on then!) random characters all over my mind map (hey, it may make more sense than what I’ve thrown in there!) and I need another wash.  Mission acomplished she is now reclining comfortably on the bed whilst she washes herself.
