A Hello Kitty Day


I spent the day at Meema and Grumpy's on Friday and I showed Meema the library book about Hello Kitty and her grandma and told Meema we would have a Hello Kitty Day. 


I drew pictures of Hello Kitty and her friend.


And Meema did one of Hello Kitty's grandma.


Hello Kitty ad her grandma had a picnic but it wasn't lunchtime so we watered the plants outside instead. 


I wore my Pinky Princess veil,


So did Bailey but she didn't like it.

Next, Grandma taught Hello Kitty to embroider.  So Meema drew my name JOSIE on a piece of cloth and showed me how to follow the line. I chose pink thread for the J and the S and the E and purple for the O and I.


Sewing is not easy and once I stuck myself with the needle. But I pretended the needle was a dolphin, leaping up out of the cloth and then diving back in.

I took a break after the first two letters but later I finished the whole name. Meema is going to make it into a pillow for me and then we'll take another picture of it. 

I have some more ideas for embroidery and Meema is going to show me how to make a flower.



Then we made a cake! It has three layers and we swirled food coloring into them. I picked out the colors and did the swirling.


That was fun!


Meema made the chocolate icing, and I licked the bowl. I also put on the sprinkles, lots of them.

And finally I got to eat a slice. Plus I took home half of the cake for Mama and Daddy.

What a fun day you all had...Hello Kitty wasn't around when my kids were little, so I don't know a thing about her. Seems like a good cat with a grandmother!

She's showing more control and precision with her drawing and did very well with the embroidery! That pillow will be a lifelong keepsake for her. The cake looks delicious!

Stirling work there, Meema! What a neat embroiderer Josie appears to be.
