Finger on the Shutter

Wes, Andrew and I took a ride to Chatham yesterday to visit the quilt shop, Foofsique.  I had a discount card to use and the shop is going out of business, (much to my distress) so everything is 40% off.  I found the backing I needed and Andrew found a fabric printed with strawberries that he fell in love with, carrying the bolt all over the store.  I bought enough to make him two pillowcases.  He wouldn’t let the shopkeeper put the fabric in a bag, insisting on carrying it to the car himself and sat with it on his lap.

We left the store, looking for a park to have our picnic lunch and ended up in the center of Kinderhook, where there was picnic tables and a cannon to perch on.  Andrew also made two new friends, but they couldn’t tell him their names. 

We stopped in the park in Catskill by the Hudson where there’s a great playground that Andrew enjoyed a lot, especially since he was the only kid there.  We picked up Natasha at her bus stop and headed home where he took a little rest on the kitchen stools, while I cut the fabric for his pillowcases. 

He was so pleased when they were finished that he insisted on hugging them and

also insisted I put the strawberry one on a pillow so he could try it out.

Doesn’t he look comfy?
