Started sewing today.
And again today.
And again today.

Mr. MacKelvie came knocking. Wondered is mom home.
Back to sewing.

I think today I really can’t continue.

Mr. MacKelvie came round again. The yard smells.

Today finished the ears.
Today finished the mouth.
Today got the eyes done. Shut permanent.
