a day at home...

i kept my middle child home from school today as she has been complaining of a sore ear and aches for the last few days. i assured her that we would not be having fun, in fact it was mopping day and 4 loads of washing had magically appeared. she was happy to help out or mooch whatever grabbed her fancy. while the baby was sleeping she asked if she could sew a babushka doll, so i sketched the outline on some felt and she has been stitching ever since. i will sew it up with a cute backing fabric and she can have it for a cuddle toy.
her stitching is really coming along.
she chooses all the colours herself.
careful not to prick herself.
i will be back with the end product later.

  2. Sweet Rosey,
    I so remember when my daughter was young, we would make up all sorts of things..Such a fond time to me.. As she has gotten older,it has taken a back seat to all her other hobbies.. But, I know someday, she will come and makes things with Momma again..Her stiches look so good.. You're a good teacher Rosey !! Have a splendid evening.. hugs to you.. ~~tea~~
