Calendar time...

This is my grandma, and I adore her. She is 85, someone correct me if I'm wrong. And just look at that cutie smiling face, like a young kid.

Back while we were in Australia, I had the idea to make Tilly a calendar from Calico material to hang on her wall. Of course in the way I do things, it did not get done. Mostly because it was sewing and mostly because I'm an ideas person, but not necessarily a "follower througher...."

You might or might not remember Tilly's dilly bag, her strips of buttons, her other strips of push buttons. These things Tilly played with as a toddler. I conceived the idea of all these things and Grandma followed through. She sits on the old Singer sewing machine at home and just gets in and gets the job done.... And there is my lovely calendar. It has a strip at the back that I can slip a piece of wood into and hang it up. It's coming in the mail. And today's conversation goes somewhat like this:

Me: Tilly look at the calendar G'ma Woodie made for you!

Tilly: Wow!! It's so beautiful. Can we go on the aeroplane and go get it mum? Can we go get it mum?

Me: Well, it's coming on the aeroplane to us.

Tilly: It's on the aeroplane coming to us?!! Is G'ma Woodie coming with it?!

Me: No, it's just coming to our mailbox.

Tilly: Can we go down and get it now mum? Can we go now mum??

I still have to make the numbers and months and days, as I need to wait to measure it out. Ho hum...... I'd better just get in and do it and get the job done.
