...just need to hand-stitch closed the last edge...
...serge (well, that's fancy for what I'm really doing- setting my machine to a tight zig-zag stitch) the perimeter...
...wrap it in pink paper with this book...
...and watch her open it all through tear-blurred eyes. She'll be six! Six.
Little House in the Big Woods birthday party this Friday, complete with a fiddlin' Papa, handmade muffs for a walk in the Big Woods behind our Little House, and a feast fit for a half-pint and her sweet cousin: beef roast, graham bread, and creamed carrots (all from The Cookbook), and a peppermint-y pie, because she's our Christmas baby. And it's pink.
Joy-filled pictures to come!
