Maron the seamstress

Maron the Seamstress

Maron came home from achievment days the other day a said she just needed to make one more thing to sign off a section in her book. So we got to work. We found some fabric we had and cut out a simple skirt that she could sew.

She is quite the little seamstress. I think sewing is something every girl should know how to do and hopefully enjoy. Maron said she can hardly wait to get her sewing machine on her 12th birthday. She is already trying to decide what kind of machine she wants

Tada! One very cute skirt made by ours truly... Maron Wray. She is very proud.... and she should be.

4th grade pioneer program

Marons fourth grade pioneer program

Maron reminded me the night before that she needed a pioneer bonnet and apron the next night for a pioneer program. I said "couldn't you have waited until tomorrow to tell me:)". I love when they need 50 cupcakes today! So I got to work and made a sweet apron and bonnet. Can you see that sweet bonnet in the picture? No, because she didn't wear it! What! She did do a great job though. We recorded it so Christian could come home from Germany and watch the fourth grade sing their hearts out.

He wore a blueberry beret

We haven't done a Gavon post lately.----Christian went to Paris last week and brought berets home for the girls. This is Gavon trying Marons on. He turns 3 this next week so we will share more then.

On a much lighter note
