Jeremy turns seven on Wednesday, which is something he’s reminded me off no less than three times a day for the last two weeks. So just in case you didn’t know, Jeremy turns seven on Wednesday, and according to him, that means he’s almost 10 and that means he’ll be able to drive soon.
Did you hear that Jeremy turns seven on Wednesday? There, that should be enough.
I’m carrying on a tradition started by Chuck’s mother – the hanging of a Happy Birthday banner during the entire week of a birthday. However, to put my own spin on it and not use something pre-made, I decided to make a flag banner out of retro-inspired fabrics I found in a half-price bin at Hobby Lobby. It was love at first sight.
For some strange reason, I sent my sewing machine and other materials to storage, so I had literally nothing with which to make the birthday banner. Naturally, that didn’t stop me. I freehanded the shapes and cut the fabric on a whim, then hot-glue gunned it all together on white yarn I found stuffed in the boys’ craft cabinet. The whole process took about an hour and I’m pretty satisfied with the result.
I’ll probably redo the banner later or at least trim it with white thread when I have access to my sewing machine again. I’ll also make Jeremy a name banner like I did for Jackson in June, but I may not get to that until tonight or tomorrow. I’m swamped with freelance work, which means my Labor Day is going to be quite laborious.
