Well I made it home from my work day at the far off office. Did I make a stop at Joann's while my 25% off your total purchase card was still good? Of course I did. Did I buy something? I'm taking the 5th!
I just turned the runner for the side swap with Lovngrandma. One more stitch all the way around and she's done. It's not a huge runner, 12"x34", but it's cute & springy * hopefully she'll like it. I'll be starting on her items for this swap tomorrow (which is why I'm taking the 5th on my Joann's trip!)
I always knew Dusty would be a very softhearted man too. His father and I both are, and I tried my hardest not to let his father's actions during a bad period in his life harden Dusty to the point he lost that compassionate trait. He's always had manners to spare, been somewhat softspoken, and been taught that I expect him to treat any other woman with the same respect that is expected to be offered to me and his dad's mother, who have always been the 2 main female influences in his life. His dad wouldn't have let him wear anything feminine, even as a joke, in public when he was growing up. I used this "phobia" I guess we'll call it, to my advantage when his dad turned 30 though. He was coaching baseball, and we had a game on his birthday, so I got him a ballerina cake and a pink feather boa for the boys to give him. He was good about it for the boys, but the boa disappeared very quickly and mysteriously even before gametime.
