Going way-y-y-y-y back to Hadley's birthday tea party on Dec. 21st, here are the girls with their little friend Kayden.

| Of course this kind of studiousness doesn't happen often, but it was cute while it lasted. |
Fast forward 3-4 months!!!

| Cousins Owen and Oatus with Guildy and Hadley |
 |
| Guildy the oldest cousin with Milli the youngest. |
 |
| A lovely dress and hat Guildy fashioned for Hadley a few days ago. Yes, it's spring here in CA, with enough foliage for a budding designer to work with:o) |
 |
| A couple weeks ago, Guildy spent the week with her grandma, so Hadley and I had to have a project. It all started with a completely unplanned impulse buy of 4 wool skirts at the thrift store. In all I think we spent $12 at the thrift store on all the materials for our little couch quilt. Hadley helped make up the pattern and carried pieces back and forth while I sewed them together. |
 |
| Last summer, I bought this AMAZING little 1940's sewing machine at the same thrift store for $7. Josh wired it up with a new electrical cord, and I ordered a new throat plate from a place that sells parts for old Singers and their Japanese knockoffs (which is what mine is). Fortunately, from what I can read, the knockoffs were often of better quality that he original Singers. It took off and hasn't given me a bit of trouble. I can honestly say I've never sworn it. That's a big deal for me. |
 |
| A lady we know used to life in Alaska and still has the fur hat to prove it. |
How's that for a random and eclectic update on the Browning clan?!
