For Christmas we purchased ALOT of art supplies for my 6 yr. old granddaughter and my 3 yr. old grandson. They've always had a box on a shelf in my sewing room with their supplies, they know just where to go for them and so enjoy using them.
Sophie wants to sew like Grandma. So I bought her a little kid sewing machine and she's delighted but she wants to go right to the "big" machine!
Patience, I tell her, you need to practice first.
As she familiarizes herself with the machine, her 3 yr old brother Holden asks, "Grandma, is this art supplies?"....hoping for a turn himself! To which Sophie replies, "NO, this is girl supplies"!!!
Right away, she wants to make a dress for her sister, Lola, who is due to be born anyday.
Oh, if it were only that simple!

ADORABLE! I always encourage my children to create. I love that fact that others encourage it as well. There is way more to life than to sit in front of the tv or the computer.
Way to go, grandma. And boys can sew too....I taught my son to so and for a short time, when he was about 14, he was sewing dolls and selling them online. He made some real good money at it for a while.
Have a great weekend, Maureen.

My 6 year old granddaughter Lily loves to sew too. She goes to my machine and whips up little pillows, etc. But you have inspired me to get here the little Singer machine. I think she will love it...If you and Sophie team up and make a design into a pattern. Lily and I will be the first to try it out...LOL Thanks for your inspirations!!!
