Creating makes a day pretty perfect. Today started out with me checking the temp to see if we could get outside and it was far too cold, possibly the coldest day of the year today and that was fine. The day consisted of fun games with the littles, making good progress on a doll dress along with making good progress on Corabelle’s Valentine’s Day dress. Sewing with my Mom brings me such joy. I love her sewing machine that she has so graciously let me borrow as I navigate through this doll making adventure. It’s old and heavy, a nice cast iron Kenmore. It’s nothing fancy, and it makes me smile. What I create from it and the time spent with my Mom makes me smile even more. The fabric is “llama love” from Monaluna. This pattern is Suzanne from Citronille and has been lots of fun to navigate…with my Mom’s guidance of course. Tomorrow I will start on a new doll, which I’ve been putting off to get Corabelle’s dress done in time along with getting wrapped up in regular chores and activity around the house. But for now, it’s time for chocolate and the Olympics…and some much appreciated quiet time.
