I just can't seem to say no.
This morning I helped sew on Cub Scout patches and hem pants before our annual Veterans Day assembly. The boys all looked so smart in their uniforms. For some of them this is one of the only areas in their lives where they are given encouragement and a sense of self worth.
Wellllll, after the other Moms inspected the work, I was being asked if I would do other patches. One Mom ran home to get the baggie that had about 2.5 years worth of patches for her son's vest for me to start working on. When I took a look at it, there was a patch half sewn with a broken needle dangling from the thread. I can't begin to imagine trying to sew through those things by hand. Yikes.
I want these boys to be proud of how they look in their uniforms, so I will stitch them all if I need to. At least my vintage Boy Scout hubby can't complain about my time at the sewing machine!
No school for the kiddos tomorrow. Emily and I have some baking and cooking to get done. We are going to my Mom's to celebrate my sister's birthday. Vegan lasagna, French bread, and salad, followed by birthday pie. It works.
What's up in your neck of the woods?
