Nik's Baptism!

What a wonderful vacation with my family! This is the longest time we've spent together for years and it was truly a marvelous experience. I'll post another message on some of the things we did. For this message, I'm posting the Smilebox I did on my grandson Nikolaus' baptism.

There are three videos at the end of this Smilebox. The last one is the complete baptism ceremony and it is about 7 minutes long. This one will likely be of interest only to family members or historians!

I have to wonder ... will this blog exist 100 years from today? Will my great...great grandchildren think "how primitive?" What would it be like if I had records like this from my "greats"?

Nik's Baptism Outfit

 

Finished! Or almost. It depends if Tina and Geoff want to add a bow tie.

Since I haven't done much garment sewing recently this was a bit of a challenge. I did give my serger a bit of a workout and used two sewing machines ... my Juki and my BabyLock. The Juki is definitely my favorite now for any kind of straight stitch sewing!

In addition to finishing the outfit, most of this weekend has been spent cleaning and organizing. The hall bathroom got steam cleaned (love my little steamer!) and I'm slowly working through my bedroom (not with the steamer!) My desk is cleaned of the piles and there are a couple of bags going into the garbage. Time to declutter!

Sargeant and I did take a break last night to go to an outdoor concert at Udall Park. Tonight it's the Pops Concert at Reid Park. I've discovered that Jimmy John's lettuce wrapped "subs" are out of this world. Tonight I might even surprise Sargeant with his own roast beef sub. It's always fun to order one "Hold everything including the bun".

Now it's time to take my first load of laundry out and put another one in. Then watching the Amgen Tour of California bicycle race. What fun!

Mother's Day

 

I spent a wonderful Mother's Day sewing the baptism outfit for my grandson, Nik. I made an outfit similar to this for Lukas almost five years ago. Lukas was younger at his baptism so his outfit is too small for Nik to wear. Just as well, now each of my grandson's will have his own baptism outfit!

This week I need to do the buttonholes for the back closure and the snap tape closure for the pants. Then all gets connected and packed for the baptism. What fun! What a great Mother's Day!
