A Dozen Paisley Napkins

Napkins and napkin rings for my future Aunt. I love this pattern and color scheme so much that I want to make some for myself!

Made out of a thick cotton, sewing the corners was sometimes difficult with so many layers to sew together, but my mom and I managed. I had a lot of help from her, since I am not exactly proficient at using the sewing machine or undertaking sewing projects. I can pretty much go forward and backward on the machine, but that's all! It's a good thing my mom knows more and is willing help me even though she has a lot of other things to do. She is the best! 

Zooming Along

Hello! This is Si.
Today I want show you a ramp that my brother, Chris, and I built. It is not the best, but after a lot of trial and error, we finely got it to work.
We first started out with Chris putting a thin piece of wood out for the kids to run their little cars down. Then I got out another piece to make a bigger ramp. Next we went around the house searching for ideal spots to place the ramp. We ended up deciding to nestle it in between the cushions of our living room couch. After several test runs and minor adjustments, it was finally completed. Viv and Sam had so much fun with us. They would run up into the kitchen, climb up on a chair placed by the wall overlooking our living room, and then send their car down the track. Here are some pictures.
Signing off,
Si (and Chris, too :)
