Yesterday we found ourselves at the craft store shopping for fabric dye for a project later in the week when Ella spotted some square pieces of quilting fabric. They came home with us and last night, instead of TV she started hand stitching wallets, purses, and business card holders. MZ Wallace watch out — we have a future star here. Even though we started out the day planning for our Papier Mâché project, we quickly switched to sewing. I dug my old Singer out of the garage, gave her a few lessons and she was off.
She made 3 pillows (one for her bear), a couple of purses and a wallet. While I was making sure she wasn’t loosing pins on the floor it dawned on me. “I make pincushions. WHY AREN’T WE USING ONE?” So I ran downstairs and got one of my cupcakes. It made all the difference.
