And so, it may have taken most of the day to get it completed, along with a little ripping out and rethinking--but I completed that little sailor suit romper! I made it in the largest size--which goes right into toddler size, so I put it on one of our old walking dolls. Sarah, Katherine's doll, modeled it. The little blonde beauty doesn't exactly look like a little boy, but oh well. :)

If I want to make a smaller size, I will have to re-size the collar for each size...and probably the little center piece too. After making this, Mama suggested that I cut the "V" on the bias so it has a little stretch. I think that is a good idea, and so I add that to my mental checklist.
In addition, I finally got my ironing board cover made--and on!! Sorry, no pictures. I was going into food withdrawal about that time and the idea didn't even cross my mind. Essentially though, it looks like the other one I made back aways for the other ironing board.
Tomorrow's plan is to get my hives painted--because I am really going to need that second hive body as soon as possible next week! Both hives are thinking about busting...
And, just for fun, while Mama was doing some clean up in the living room and sorting through one of the piles (mountains) of books, she ran across one that is almost three inches thick, red in color, and has this fascinating wording along the spine (which feels rather worn): A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English. She was considering getting rid of it, but the writer in me screamed "NO! That may come in handy." So...now I just have to find a place to keep it. :D However, I thought it might be fun to randomly pick a word or phrase per day and put up here. I will avoid the profane, of course...
So, here goes:

Norsker
A Norwegian: nautical colloquialism. Mid 19th century to 20th century.
I suspect that that isn't politically correct. I also promise that I will not call the Norwegian lady in our congregation a "Norsker".
