My Creation

Grace recently went to a birthday party and we decided to make her friend a little bag that she could use to carry 'make-up' in or use as a ballet bag. I took Grace to the fabric store and she picked out the most glittery, stretchy, fabric. I was so unsure that I could sew with that fabric and what I could possibly use for the trim. Trevor helped us by finding the perfect trim and my mothers sewing tips came to mind to help me put it together. I am so tickled at how it turned out and I have enough fabric left to make a bag for Grace too. Thanks Mom for telling me years ago to use tissue when sewing stretchy fabric! I even put a liner in, yea!

The Bag


And the liner ...


Here are the little make-up and bath items we put in the bag. We wrapped each item in white tissue paper with a pink ribbon and placed them in the super sparkly, girlie frilly bag before wrapping it all up. Oh, so fun.

Grace loves little dogs

Yesterday we discovered, by the barking, that our neighbors have two new little dogs. I found Grace and Trevor peeking through the fence at the little dogs, enjoying the sight of our new neighbors. Trevor and I left Grace by the fence and after a little while Grace came in and said:

"Mom, will you climb the fence with me and play with the dogs. One of them is really nice and the other one is just a little afraid so it barks a lot. I don't know if they are boys or girls though."

"Grace, did you climb the fence and play with the dogs?"

"Yes. But it's okay, they didn't bite me"

I'm so glad they were nice and I am laughing because I didn't realize that Grace could climb the fence by herself.
