A Productive Day
We have had a great productive day here on Stauffer Avenue. Dennis’ shirt has buttons on the sleeve and we fixed the Baby Jesus on the Oak Christmas board that Kevin had made in the . . . way back days when Kevin had a wood shop in the chicken barn of the South Branch farm. Nephew Brett was over for his quilting tutorial. He has the will and I have the words. My 1962 Mary Proctor ironing board is getting a new cover. Overson Lumber cut half inch plywood that is 56″ x 24″ and that will lay right on top of the ironing board. No more working with the peek of the ironing board. We first covered it in felt and it now has two layers of cotton batting on it for some loft. I could not have worked the stapler and . . . then Dennis came down into the sewing studio. Tomorrow when we hit Mankato, I will purchase some silicone fabric for the final cover. Ya know . . . the fabric that is shiny silver and doesn’t scorch very easily. It has been a great day and right now Dennis just took the hotdish out of the oven. Gotta run!
