Pink, pink, pink.

I have a mistake in my cross stitch. I wanted to ignore it and just do the piece with the mistake in there, but it's going to mess lots of other things up, so I will have to undo and redo. As then President of Rice said at my matriculation ceremony, "building, unbuilding and rebuilding."

So rather than undo the stitching, today I worked on the other fat quarter skirt that I had planned to make for Smallest. There are eight different fabrics and they're all pink. Pink! Smallest is a girly girl, no doubt about it. I am not into pink. Not even as I get older.

In the instructions, it talks about different sizes of fat quarters that you can have - 20 inches x 18 inches, or 20 inches x 20 inches. My quarters are 10 inches x 23 inches. Maybe it's a Canadian fat quarter. Who knows. At any rate, the pattern calls for four fabrics for the skirt and five for the ruffle. I have eight, but as they're half the size called for, that's the same as four. I realized that I left some of the fabric out of the ruffle, but it's huge already and putting another 40 inches on doesn't appeal to me. Smallest will never know. Ruffles are a pain.

If I get on it, I can finish it tomorrow, just in time for the return of the nice weather.

The Boy had a soccer game tonight. It was their first game without two long time teammates. The team played great and the boys had a super time. I hope it will be a good season. The two missing teammates moved up a level to play with the bigger kids on a bigger field.

Other random non-sewing stuff... I bought some cat treats to give to Fang, my Very Old Cat. At first, I wouldn't let the kids give them to her at will because I didn't want her to get fat. Then I stopped and reconsidered. I actually do want her to get fat because she's very underweight. So the kids have a great time giving her treats. I've also told them to put the treats in her food bowl because she'll eat more food after she eats the treat. She's pitiful.
