Last night, Tween learned to purl. She is knitting a purse in stockinette stitch.
Tonight, Tween learned to change yarn: stripes! (Photo needed.)
She also sang for hours at her first choir day-camp: another kind of creative endeavor. And she gave a sweet little felt embroidered pendant to her BFF and a tiny embroidered felt dog to BFF's younger brother.
Yesterday, Mama made three batches of jam: one strawberry and two strawberry-rhubarb. And knit a few rows on a pillow cover.
Today, Mama *remade* two batches of jam. Tomorrow she will remake a non-gelling batch for a *third time.* How special is she, failing multiple times with "no-fail" Pomona Pectin? She is not a canning novice, and she may return to her chemical-laden original brand of pectin.
Tonight, Mama is back to planning a crafty "save" for a favorite t-shirt that Oxy-Bright cleaned the color right off.
