JAN from Juliana - Handmade broom

 


I put Blue Jean as an option for my name on the January lists. Juliana was the only one who addressed to Blue Jean. The idea came from the clever Blue Jean envelope from Mary. Juliana enclosed some fun snowflake ornaments that her kids had made. 

I wonder if her kids would be into making brooms (that's the add-on). I used to dream of having kids who wanted to make things with me. Then I thought the grandkids might be into making things. Nope. just a bunch of gross motor people. It's OK. I have enough playmates my own age who will get together for making things.

February filler. The making of a broom. I still like brooms although, the part where you have to deal with the pile of whatever you swept up can be a problem. My dream house would have some kind of trapdoor where you stepped on a pedal and then swept the stuff into some kind of receptacle. This is a step up from my dream house for kids that was entirely tile with a hose and a drain in the middle of the room.

Can anyone tell that I have been left in charge of 3 kids? (written while I was in Chicago in January)
