My mom was here today on her break and taught me to purl and how to finish off the knitting. I really like it! It is slow, but it is pretty! Pnut keeps asking when she will get her scarf. I finished my practice piece tonight so I had better start on that tomorrow before she cuts up one of mine for her own. I don't think that I have mentioned quite how wonderful my mom is. Today, she taught me how to purl and she helped me fix the sewing machine. She also told me that I should clean it and oil it! The things I do not know! When she was here Tuesday, she helped me learn to cast on stitches and to do the knit stitch. She also helped me to get the hem set on my skirt (which I have not worked on since). She is great! I am so glad they live here now! And that her boss gives her these long breaks that are too short to drive to her house but too long to hang out in the parking lot feeding seagulls. Thank you postmaster!
Tonight, we did playdough. I let Pilly play with it because I was sitting right there and scolded her every time she put it in her mouth. Eventually she gave up on that!
She mostly just squished it and tore it into little pieces. Here, she is done and wants me to put it away. She was actually getting ready to get really angry and yell because I delayed taking it from her to take a picture.
I had to make a blueberry pie for Pnut which turned into a cherry pie because her playdough was red. She then picked all my cherries off, all that hard work, and stuffed them into the container. She proceeded to tear the playdough into 400 little pieces while putting it away. That should be a fun one to open.
Tomorrow is cleaning day. Oh joy. But Carolyn comes tomorrow so that is a joy! Happy Friday!

You don't have to butter me up to keep me coming back! Although it is nice to be appreciated.
