Lil' Miss Singer

One of Alyson's Christmas gifts was a sewing machine from her Nana and Paw-paw. As luck would have it-the machine was backordered. Alyson has anxiously, but patiently waited for her gift to arrive. Friday, when she got home from school (which is going very well), she had a package waiting on her. Excited is an understatement. We spent the next couple of hours undoing all the tape, twisty ties and straps that were holding the machine captive. We did manage to get it set up and run a few test seams to let her get the feel of it before bedtime. She seemed to really enjoy it and anxiously began to plan her first project. She had a birthday party to attend today and she was insistent that she was going to make something for her friend~and she did. She made her a sash/belt and even attached a little heart to it. She was quite proud of herself and so was I.

I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.
