To Do Tuesday August 30 & September 6

Welcome to To Do Tuesday August 30 & September 6 hosted by Christine over at Stitch All the Things!

The past two weeks have been so crazy that I wasn’t able to even carve out enough time to write a TDT post last week, even though I did make quite a bit of progress.  In addition to our normal work week, Todd and I are both working part-time second jobs.  We have been dealing with some health issues with one of our kiddos.  Reagan and I have been gearing up for the opening of The Little Mermaid.  Long days and pure exhaustion left little time for anything extra beyond sleep.

This is what my list from two weeks ago (August 23) looked like:

1.   Ariel’s Transformation Tail – The Final Version
2.  Pattern Test: Capsule Wardrobe (finish capsule wardrobe)
3.  TSNEM:  August – Bodice Sloper (remeasure and adjust pattern accordingly)
4.  Sunkissed Tee from Peek-A-Boo Pattern Shop

One Quick Take – Big Booty Judy

It was a little hot in the hog barn yesterday afternoon, and Big Booty Judy was thirsty.

Weekly Photo Challenge – From Above

My youngest daughter, Reagan’s, piglet she is raising for fair.

Reagan and Her Pig

Reagan convinced our neighbor, Scott, to let her raise 4-H pigs with his son, Zach.  We went to pick up their pigs for the Union County Stock Show pigs today.  Reagan picked out a blue-butt barrow (castrated male) and named him Chip (she’s thinking Chip from Chip and Dale).  Zach picked out a nice little gilt (female).

Emma & Thor

Last week was the Morrow County Fair, and it was Emma’s next to last year showing pigs for 4-H.  This year, her pig’s name was Thor.  He was HUGE!  I was able to go to Heppner Thursday to watch her in conformation and Friday for showmanship.  She did awesome, and I am so proud of her!  I am constantly amazed at the gorgeous young woman who has taken the place of my chubby-cheeked cherub baby, and I can’t wait to see what the world has in store for her as she starts her senior year in high school.
