Yesterday, I was feeling pretty down about things. My dress has wings and my quilt blocks are wonky. Not the end of the world, right? But still. I worked hard on that dress, and I tried really really hard to do a good job on those blocks, so I was frustrated.
But today is a new day. Above is Daphne's latest knitting project. She is making a blanket for her friend Anne's tiny stuffed turtle. I was watching her knit this morning before school, and she's getting pretty good at it! She has picked up speed and found a rhythm. It makes me happy.
After she got on the bus, I took a walk around town. This is my favorite time of year. It was nice and chilly this morning. When I got back, I was inspired to finally try to make a dent in the playroom situation. It took me all morning, but I made some progress:
Far from complete, but Rome wasn't built in a day! If you look at the picture a few posts ago and compare, it looks about a million times better. It feels good to have some success.
Tonight I have my quilt class. My mom is letting me borrow a special quilting presser foot for my machine that should make things easier and better. And I ordered fabric to try again on the dress. And tonight is Project Runway night! Yay! Things are looking up!
At least there are no lions.

Great progress on the playroom.
Actually, though -- that's about as tidy as **our** place ever gets... ;)
