Sew Busy


Anyone who knows Anna knows she likes to "do crafts".  Scissors, tape, glue, glitter and stickers are her friends.  She also likes to "help" me sew (although her definition of help and mine differ.  For her, "helping" typically means taking stray scraps of fabric, thread and ribbon, and traipsing them around the house, tying them to doorknobs or taping them to paper).

For her birthday she received her very own sewing Hello Kitty machine and was eager to use it.  I convinced her to wait until after Christmas to work on her first project and it proved to be a perfect distraction for a rainy weekend morning.

After an hour of work (much of the time spent deliberating which beads and baubles to select), we created a cute tote bag.  Our next project is a pillow.  We just need another rainy day...
