So, thanks to the negative coronavirus test, Farmkid got to go to the beach with her cousins and grandma and grandpa. but she also got to bring her best friend, whose mom does the books on the farm. The two of them are inseparable, and hadn’t seen one another for… mm, maybe a week? Anyway they’d been mutually pining. And my mother was like, why not just have Other Little Girl just come to the beach with us?
So Mom and Dad took five children to the beach, with Farmkid and her bff among them (they’ve been telling everyone at school they’re half-sisters, which is hilarious; they are both blue-eyed blondes of similar-ish builds, so, but they’re also only three months different in age so their fictional mutual dad was a Busy Guy apparently), and BFF’s mom did the books for the farm.
I also had told her she should bring her serger by; we’d talked about it before, and she’s a really amazing quilter and such, and was like “oh I have a serger but I don’t know how to use it” and I was like Boy Do I Know How To Thread Those Fuckin’ Things (after the bent upper looper arm incident that meant I had to rethread my serger four hundred times), so she brought it over and in among all the other things, I threaded it for her. it’s an impressively vintage model but it’s actually much nicer than my much much newer one, i think.
So I got that threaded and working, and she left it here for the weekend and I’m banging out several small projects I had with me that would be easier to do with the serger. I only have white thread for it here (argh, i have So Many colors at home, oh well), but that’s fine, that matches well enough with the stuff I’ve got.
I felt very useful and competent for once, so that was nice.
