These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Sewing class
Molly has been asking to learn how to sew, and I am not a sewer. For Christmas her Nana gave her a box of sewing supplies and she has been even more anxious to learn. Then her teacher at Awana gave them a challenge to make something in their likeness and Molly was dead set on making a Doll. Well she lucked out because I had picked up a sewing video at the library that I thought might be my answer to teacher her to sew even though I can't. The video we watched Yes I Can Sew, was great, in fact I am thinking of picking up some of Winky Cherry's other books My First Patchwork Book: Hand & Machine Sewing, My First Embroidery Book: A Name Sampler, My First Quilt Book: Machine Sewing ,My First Machine Sewing Book: Straight Stitching,My First Doll Book: Hand Sewing ,(library doesn't have them). Although they recommended making a dove first, we made the doll. She could have done better on the hair and clothes, but these were techniques she really hadn't learned yet.

Very cute! She did a great job. I will have to look for those videos/books out here because while I can sew, it usually doesn't come out very polished at all (not a straight seam to save my life).
I have awarded you something so come on by to pick it up.
