Baby brother

Susan's brother Ryan was to be born Tuesday. We haven't heard from them yet, but they expect to be home from the hospital tomorrow, so we will get to see him tomorrow night. His name is Ryan Garrett Chen. We can hardly wait to see him. His quilt is quilted and just needs the binding.

The memory stick in my camera failed, so all the pictures of the students from Taiwan and the KinderMusik picnic are lost. I need to go and find a new one.

Susan is fixing her own hair. She makes elastic bands out of her bead string and makes a pony tail. She has some little frog clips to hold the short hair on the sides. She washes it and brushes it herself. She doesn't use the pink bands her mother brought from home.

When we went to the quilt shop hop a couple of weeks ago, Susan picked out a piece of rainbow fabric and wanted a "flying" skirt made of it. That means a circle or near-circle skirt that will fly when she spins. It is nearly finished. I had trouble figuring out a waistband but finally used wide bias and elastic. She can wear pink, green blue, yellow or orange shirts with it.
