hurry up and wait and wait and wait
After a virtual storm of paperwork and forms concerning school, an online tour of the virtual campus, and faxing papers back and forth for financial aid over the course of three weeks I have nothing more to do than wait for my books.
And wait.
And do a little more waiting.
I finished another frock for Lexi, all but the buttons. I don’t exactly know why some of her dresses are “dresses” and some are “frocks” but she differentiates the two and this one is a “frock.” The mind of a four year old is a mysterious thing. I have buttons for it somewhere but we’re having creative differences. I want to sew modest matching blue-gray plastic buttons onto the dress and she wants bright green frog buttons.
Usually I’ll go along with her requests, this time– no. The bright green frog buttons are slated for use on another dress (frock?) that I’m going to make using pink printed fabric that features bright green frogs. The cuteness quotient of the next dress (or frock) will be off the scale with those buttons and I am *not* using the frog buttons before that dress (or frock) is made.
This has resulted in the disappearance of the blue-gray buttons.
Well played Lexi. Well played.
