Joint Hobby = Hubby Hobby

There once was a day when I made a decisive purchase.  I bought some material and a pattern for a skirt.  I even bought matching thread, 'cause the GUY at Joanne's reminded me I would need it. 

This purchas had a couple of purposes:  1.  Sarah's birthday was the next day; 2.  We (Sarah and I) needed a joint hobby - something we could learn together and work on together and spend time together doing; and 3.  I like learning new skills.

It's been a month now since that purchase, and we finally have something to show for it:

I'll share one statistic about this creation - I sewed every stitch.  Sometimes when we are I am working on our various projects, Sarah feels like she is bossy.  Sarah insists that I am "well rounded", and in many ways she's right.
