Legos and Bad Birds
Donovan is so not impressed with my Lego-ing abilities. Last week he picked out a kit for us to build together, so he could teach me how to do it.
I’d put 2 pieces together and he’d take over and complete a section.
Then he’d remember he’s supposed to be teaching me and I’d do 2 pieces…Rinse and repeat. (He did let me organize the pieces as they came out of the bags. I’m pretty good at that part.)
It was so cute and we had a lot of fun. And because Donovan is so fast, “we” got the whole TNT house done in a couple of hours.
On my own? I’d still be working on it next week month forever.
Started on the first of this month’s two Birdwatcher blocks yesterday…
began sewing the pieces together today…
and discovered I’d messed up the colors in the 4th piece. After I’d sewn it to its neighbors.
Muttered, ripped the seam out and redid the piece…
Wrong again! Swore, ripped, got my coloring pencils and color coded that sucker (which I should have done in the first… or second place).
Compared my completed section to what the designer showed it should look like…
and ripped, ripped, ripped. I’ve ripped it apart so many times the paper is disintegrating and the fabric looks so sad.
Just to prove (to myself) that I really can do FPP (today’s efforts were that depressing), I started sewing it together from the opposite end.
And look! The colors are in the right place! It lines up! Whoo!
Not yet sewn together
