Celebrating the 4th

I just could not resist doing these shirts for my youngest granddaughters.

I learn something with everything I make.

The girls liked the shirts when I delivered them this morning

and put them right on to wear.

The 4 year old proudly showed me the sign she and her sisters had made,

and wished me a happy 4th of July.

I hope everyone enjoys a safe holiday

and may we always remember how precious our freedom is

and how high the cost.

An early 4th

One of my dear granddaughter's turned 4 this past weekend.

For her party she chose a lady bug theme.

So I decided to have fun with my sewing/embroidery machine

and decorated a shirt for her to wear for the party.

She loves to play in her little kitchen so I also decorated 

an apron for her to wear in there.

To finish it off she got a little table and chairs

to go in that kitchen 

so I decided a tablecloth was also needed.

My hamper was about the right size to try it out.

I had fun learning how to rearrange the little leaf with ladybug

that was built into the machine

to spice things up a bit.

I am not sure if I had more fun making these 

than she will have wearing and using them

but maybe it will make good memories for both of us.
