I'm so glad that I did most of my Christmas gift sewing earlier in the month. In addition to the long blue 'Princess' gowns, each of the girls will get a ballet costume for their dolls. It's what they all wanted. In fact Teagan said she'd like seven of them for her birthday!!! There's just 10 days left before her birthday, so I don't think I can pull that off.
I'm also working on a special One-of-a-Kind train set for one of my grandsons. He loves his trains and he loves to go for rides on the GO train (the public transportation system in Southern Ontario). So we ordered a blank wooden train set that's compatible with his BRIO trains, and Jan did a little modifying, and replacing of the freight cars. We couldn't duplicate the actual double-decker passenger cars, because we had to stick to the standard Brio train car format, so I had to use 'artistic license' to paint the passenger cars in a design they might have had if there really were single level cars today. Not the easiest thing with my crappy eyesight and shaky hands, but I think they turned out rather well. I hope he likes them.
