Oh I loved today.
This morning Grace woke up and decided she wanted to do some sewing... so of course Jackson did too.
Aside from tying the knot in the thread, I did nothing else. They decided what they were going to make, chose and cut their fabric, threaded the needle (Grace did that for both of them), and of course did the sewing.
The end result- Jackson made this little "ball" and Grace a small pillow. I've never been so proud of a pile of fabric scraps.
And so were they. Jackson loved his ball, playing with it on and off for the rest of the day.
And Grace had a special plan for her little pillow. It was made for one of her "minnies" as she calls her collection of little fairies, gnomes, and animals.
She could spend hours playing "minnies" (and now thanks to some great birthday presents from family and friends they have a home and barn too).
And as an added bonus, all this sewing and playing led to a lot of good quality sit by the fire and read a book time for me.
So yes, I loved today.
