Dear Mom,

I took a break from working on dog collars to start on my list of personal projects. I started with the quickest one to warm up my fingers and get me back in the swing of things: a flannel bandana bib for Meret. What instant gratification!

Before: (note Barfy McGee’s wet shirt. This happened the instant I took off her other bib. This photo shoot was very authentic, no dramatic reenactments necessary.)

Before, wearing one of the ridiculous hand-me-down bibs, one of the ones with horrible velcro that I can only wash with other horrible velcro bibs:

After, in her new flannel bandana bib:

After, showing me how she really feels:

It immediately got barfed on, and it did its job superbly! The wrinkles under her chin function quite well as liquid catchers, and I used the new plastic snaps you bought me (I figured it was better to practice on a little flannel before the more-complicated cloth diapers). Everything about this project, from it taking 15 minutes to its functionality, was AWESOME.

Love,

Ruth
