The courier arrived with my new old sewing machine when I was in the middle of vacumming the dining room, supervising homework, preparing dinner, and so forth. Obviously I dropped everything to see if the machine would actually sew one piece of fabric to another. And another. Etc.
Eilidh wants lessons and in the meantime makes do with paper and staples. Or plastic and sellotape. I think she had 20 such outfits in her wardrobe at last count. I am of the firm opinion that she spent her 9 months in the womb planning all the things she would wear once she escaped into the real world.
Random photo of dried roses. I keep planning on using them to decorate cupcakes but have not yet been able to bring myself to such a level of sacrifice.
Those colorful fabrics are certainly a delight to the eye. Sounds like your girlie is following her mom with her own unique creative imagination.

hooray - hooray - hooray!
:-)
And that was just for dropping everything to see if the machine would sew one fabric to another....
Your daughter has such a nice idea, too!! How great is that? What wonderful creativity on her part...that vest looks like something that would be sent down the catwalk on Project Runway. GREAT for her. Great for you...I'm sure that's where she got her creative vibe, after all. Your quilt says: celebration. Don't you think?
