Mama Loves: having a girl
I won’t lie. Some days my precious Ellie drives me nuts. But most days I simply delight in her. I look into her sweet, almost six-year-old face, blonde corkscrews framing her bright blue eyes and contagious smile, and I see the years laid out before us. I see her in her wedding gown. I see her as a gracious mother and a loving wife. I see her doing great things for God. I know that we’ll have our ups and downs, but I love that we’re friends, that we treasure our time together.
This weekend we went through a bunch of pictures. (Rick is converting them to be the screensavers on his new Kindle. He thinks it would be funny if the “sleep” screen always showed a different picture of our kids sleeping. 
) I came across these. I had planned to blog about them back in November, but never got around to it. So, here you go: Ellie’s first sewing adventure.
She couldn’t reach the floor from my high sewing chair, so we used the insides of some of the book purses I’ve made.
And the finished project: a fully-lined blanket for her babies. She was so proud!

Now I want to adopt and get a sewing machine…Thanks a lot…
So sweet! I still treasure the times my mom spent at the sewing machine with (and for!) me!
How sweet!
ooooo – she is such a sweetie! and I’m not too prejudiced! She is truly delightful and it’s so nice to see how you delight in her.
Love the tongue! Now that’s concentration!
Someone’s going to have to teach Anna AND me to sew. So, I’m challenged in the craft department! I still love having a girl. We had a 9-year-old boys slumber party here and she went to spend the night with her best friend. I had no idea I’d miss her so much. It’s hard to remember being the only girl in the house.
