Adult kids

Yesterday Valeria and Vendela turned eighteen. They are now old enough to vote, drive cars etc  and legally adults. For those who have known me long enough to have met/seen them since they were small this may be one of the things that makes you feel "OMG I'm so old!!!", but when you live with them it doens't fell like that because you're with them all the time. Or mayeb it feels like that a little.
Yes, I'm that old and I am happy and proud of my beautiful, smart and kind daughters. The gods know that they are not perfect, but they are good and intelligent people and I am satsified with that.

A find

Since I was bored and Maja wanted company while watching "Totoro" I rummaged around in one of the cupboards where I kepp fabric and sich thigns to find a project to work on. Well, I didn't find a hand sewing project, but I found a 16th century loose gown that I started on for Valeria about ten years ago and never finished and it fit Maja. Now I need to find a piece of rabbit fur and some of the vlevet I used for the collar, cut a lining, sew a stay tape to the back pleats, finish the sleeves and add some closures, but that shouldn't take too much time or effort.
