Pookie & Fig

Sadly most everyone here is sick...or teething. The girls have been either extremely upset or bordering on cranky thanks to sore gums and perhaps a little cold as well. My husband has a cold. Me, I'm okay, but I'm awfully afraid I'll be next!

I spent the girls' nap time cutting out one of my Vintage Vogue patterns and oh what a lot of work! I only managed to get two out of the eight pattern pieces cut out--the slippery fabric and small work space made it impossible to work quickly. I have a feeling that this dress is going to be a long time in the making...

Later today, while my husband and Fig were napping, Pookie and I started cleaning her and Fig's bedroom. It was a mess and desperatley needed cleaning! As we were cleaning Pookie pulled out her ballet slippers and wanted them on, next she wanted her tutu on, and then there was Pookie dancing and leaping. Of course I had to join in on the fun! I took a picture while she was having a quiet moment:


Pookie and I never did finish cleaning the girls' bedroom, but we sure had a great Mother-Daughter bonding moment. Sometimes a clean room isn't all that important...
