blue fish

October 25, 2010

DSC_0014

I made this fish on Friday while Stella was home sick.  She was snuggled up in our bed watching Little Traveler's Japan on the portable DVD player. She is better now and back at school today.

This weekend I spent some time sewing patches on all 22 of the Daisy Scouts' uniforms. 

And we made a scarecrow for the front garden. He is a bit short.

I am 35 weeks pregnant now and awaiting this baby with eager anticipation.  My belly feels very stretched. A woman in my neighborhood walked past me the other day and said that she felt like I had been pregnant forever.  As my mom tells me at the end of each pregnancy, "They all have to come out eventually."

    One week to go and you are busy, sewing fish, fixing uniforms, carving pumpkins and making scarecrows. Time should fly and we are eager for the news. Scarecrow seems to sing in anticipation. I like the fish’s tail and fins.

    No other Daisy moms (or dads) know how to sew?! Maybe learning to sew should be a Daisy troop mom/daughter activity 🙂
    Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
