My friend Shennon needed to have surgery this week and after a few days in the hospital she returned home this morning. She needed some rest and relaxation, so Jenna and Ruby came over to spend the day with us.

 

I have been a bit sad lately about my lack of sewing. There’s just not enough time. I packed up most of my sewing stuff and put it in the back of the closet and figured some day, maybe when the kids go off to college, I would be able to sew again.

 

I had a huge bag of fabric and told the girls they could play with it. They were amazing! I showed them  how to use the sewing machine (with help) and they designed and created their own dresses.

 

I am beyond impressed with them! It made my heart so happy to see them sewing and being creative and to be spending the day with them making something unique and special. I loved it and my energy for sewing has been renewed. I just had to remind myself to make time for the things that are important and this is one of them.

 

Oh, and on a very happy note, Shennon is recovering well!
