Happy 50 Something Dad
I love this photo of my Dad and I! This is around the time of my first birthday. My mom was just a few weeks shy of having my sister… I love the old stereo equipment- I wonder if I was plugged in and actually listening to something? There is nothing sweeter than little baby fingers wrapped around big father hands…
Today is my Dad’s “50 something” birthday! I made him a bow-tie for his birthday…I’ve been telling him for over 2 years now that I was going to make him one. Took me a year to find the fabric (my Dad is picky- and silk tie fabric is hard to find), but then, it took me a year to get the guts to actually make it. I don’t know why I was so scared to do it. I did screw up royally and had to cut the tie out twice. It did get finished- however I’m worried that the interfacing I chose is too stiff…(crossing my fingers and holding my breath that it will tie and lie right). Happy Birthday Dad- if it’s the thought that counts, remember I’ve been thinking of this for 2 years!
See you next week…save me some birthday cake!

That is the sweetest picture! I agree, baby fingers wrapped around daddy hands are such a precious site.

The tie is amazing and he loves it – fabric, color, stiffness, all of it. It is perfect and did I mention amazing?!? It looks better than some ties I have bought for him. You are one amazing sewing queen!! Cute pic of you (and of your dad)!

That is a great picture! I recently took a picture of my boys (ages 2 and 4) listening to my IPOD for the first time. They totally loved it, but my! Times have changed.
