I am almost finished Pembroke for a friend who is soon due to have a baby. (Ravelry details here.) This is the back, and I've got the front done to the start of the V neck. Hope to get the front finished tonight. I have to get the sewing machine out and do some repairs and hem a pair of pants for the Littlest One or else I may have gotten it totally finished. I don't like sewing, so I have to force myself to do it. I'd like it maybe if I was better at it. I always had dreams of quilting some day, we'll see. (Ah, heck - they don't need what I need to sew tomorrow. If I don't get it done tonight I'll do it Monday night when we get back from the camper. I also have to finish mowing the lawn, and there is only so many hours in a day!)

I would never, ever pay that much for a kid's shirt! $60! I can't imagine. Anyways, I think I paid maybe $2.50 or thereabouts. It will be a great soccer shirt, it's silky and cool. I also got new Nike shorts for the Oldest One, and a nice Nike shirt and a Gap shirt. I also got the Littlest One a nice Old Navy long sleeved t-shirt and a Gap fleece hoody. I went last week and got them some other nice stuff, too, like new LL Bean shorts, a Fubu t-shirt, and other things. I only get name brand or stuff that is new/looks like new. I'm quite particular. Oh, and I also got the Oldest One a nice spring/fall jacket that he really needed.

PS The girls are highly upset that the boys are back in school. They miss them very much, and as soon as they heard the busses go up the road they were at the window waiting!! (They go to school on the same bus but come home at different times on different busses.)
PPS They are home from school now, and they have a friend over who is the Littlest One's age. We'll see how long the rooms stay cleaned up.

Gotta love a bargain - nice shirt! I think Pembroke is such a cute pattern. :o)
I always loved the first day back at school! Getting your life back for a few hours every day is just wonderful!
That is like a thrifting touchdown!
Ah the first day of school...there's nothing quite like it!
It amazes me what people spend on clothes... I wouldn't spend $60 on a shirt for myself!
I do miss back to school time though. I hated the school part, but I always loved the pre-school shopping!
Ahhhhhh - those 5-6 hours of freedom! Mine went back on Tuesday :-)
You used your time in a much more productive way than I did!
