Lovely Ladybug........

Here is the toy Curly Girl made for the Toy Society drop. She came up with the idea by herself and then sewed it all together....with just a little help.

a little panda purse

This week for her sewing lesson, Curly girl chose to make a purse.

I took her to Hancock's to pick out fabric. She picked out some CUTE dog fabric and we went home. I helped her cut out the pattern and said, " okay, lets get you seated at the machine"
She said 'machine?" "uhhhhhhh, I don't want to do it with a machine....I like doing it by HAND."
So....back in the car and off to Hancock's one more time. This time I knew to take her to the fleece.

After seeing the movie "Kung Fu Panda," I'm not at all surprised by the print she chose.......and the little purse turned out really cute.

To make things a bit more interesting and to make a prettier edge, I taught her the blanket stitch .

She did a GREAT job!

Birdies in the ferns........

Just LOOK what Curly Girl discovered in our ferns yesterday!
Momma Cheep and Baby Peep looking so sweet and cozy.

Okay...so MAYBE Curly Girl MADE these 2 softies for her IMT post and MAYBE I just set them in the ferns for the picture!

You gotta admit....she did a great job for her 2nd sewing lesson!
