Inga's 11th birthday is going to be a Big Deal. She's been planning a Harry Potter birthday party and it keeps getting more elaborate. Aka I get to make more and more things. I sometimes have to say, "No, we're not sewing mandrakes" or "Sorry, I don't think we're going to make floating candles."
She and I went shopping this morning for supplies and ingredients. My favorite find was 6 different fancy decanters at a thrift store, one for each "potion" ingredient (6 different colored fruit juices).
Soccer took up much of the afternoon, but I snuck in a bit of work in the front apartment afterward. I convinced Ivy to help me; we were patching cracked or broken parts of the old subfloor with map. She had so much fun glopping and then smoothing the map.
A friend came over in need of cutting some pieces of lumber. It's fun to have all of the necessary tools for almost every imaginable job.
I think we'll be ready to start laying the kitchen subfloor by tomorrow afternoon. I have a few more batches of map to apply in the morning. It cures within about 90 minutes.
