My father-in-law and I have made a bench. My wife and mother-in-law are working on a seat cushion. It will go along one side of our dining room table and seat 4 children.
@mariabamford.bsky.social OMG. You are appearing in Indianapolis where I live in one hour! Have a great show! I'm spending the evening with our six kids and the in-laws. I'd forward you some material, but I think you've got all you need.
