Remember the nightgowns for Raggedies that I made a week or so ago? I had them laying out to remind me to finish them with snaps in the back. I woke up this morning to see Fergus napping on them. Even when I moved them somewhere else, I came into the room to discover him posed on them again. I am not sure what that is about, but if he keeps it up, I am making him a nightgown to wear. And I will do it. Ask my sister (Borg #4 of 8) who came home the night before her wedding to find her cat dressed in a wedding gown--with veil. (Tabby was a very patient and tolerant cat)

| Hello Cleveland? |
These are the last of the niece/nephew pj bottoms. This niece plays guitar and I think it’s important to encourage girls to play rock ‘n’ roll. I know whenever I set foot in Sam Ash or any other guitar shop, I am overwhelmed by the number of men there. Hopefully that will be different for her when she is older. I guess she, at least, has Taylor Swift as a role model for guitar-playing girls.

I also finally got to make cookies!!!! These are pumpkin chocolate chip. Between the oatmeal and the pumpkin in them, I think I can claim they are nutritious, right? Vegetable AND roughage? So what if they are full of butter, sugar and chocolate too?
Tomorrow, I have no choice but to finish the last nightgown and then bravely face the buttonhole challenge. I need to make 6 for these nightgowns and probably another half dozen on the nightshirt that has been waiting a year. I will master buttonholes tomorrow. It’s ridiculous that I have this mental block about buttonholes. I have made them on all sorts of different sewing machines over the years.
And then I can make more cookies.
I've had the same buttonholephobia as you and I've made hundreds of them over the years but they always make me nervous. I think pairing that task with cookies is a masterful stroke and may make things all better for you.
