Saturday I had the pleasure of teaching Addie and Miriam how to make a custom tie for Father’s Day. Addie’s chose Amy Butler’s Midwest Modern Martini in yellow and Miriam chose Large Petals in Raspberry by Tina Givens. “Mr. Rick” is going to be one styling Daddy-O!

 
 
 
In addition to a lot of pinning, cutting, stitching, pressing and hand-sewing we had time for groundhog watching (I didn’t get a picture for some reason!), music appreciation, lunch and chatting. Did you know that groundhogs (or woodchucks, but NOT otters!) can climb trees? Not very well mind you but we did observe some mild tree climbing capabilities in the neighborhood herd. (It seems that I am located in the middle of quite the population of groundhogs. I may have to set up a video camera aimed at the neighbor’s on each sides’ porches and make my own “Groundhog Manor” show for Animal Planet.)

Overall it was a fun day.

*Beau Brummell is credited with introducing and establishing as fashion the modern man’s suit, worn with a tie.
