Sewing...in Meme's footsteps!

(Ethan & Baby Evan)(Madalyn & Baby Emma)

I was folding laundry on my bed as I was listening to the kids playing in the next room. The kids were playing house, as they do much of the time lately. Madalyn was telling Ethan she was making a new blanket for her baby Emma. I thought that was cute and thoughtful. Then I heard Ethan's powertools going as Madalyn was saying "I'm almost done with your blanket Emma". I looked in the living room and saw that Madalyn had a chair pulled up to Ethan's tool bench with a blanket laying over the bench and a powertool in hand.

She has such an imagination. She had it all set up just like Meme's sewing table except for the fact that to do the sewing she used a powertool.

She has seen Meme sew a lot of things and likes to sit in the room with her while she sews. Last week Meme was making little sleeping bags for the kids dolls. I think this is what sparked Madalyn's imagination with sewing.

I hope Madalyn will keep her intrest in sewing so that Meme can teach her this great art to carry on Meme's legacy.

When I was at my parents this last week I found the sleeping bag that Mom made for my dolls when I was little. Madalyn wanted to bring it home to add to her doll stuff.

Thanks Mom, for all the great things you sew for the kids. I know they have really enjoyed the sleeping bags this week and of course the blankets and doll clothes you have made in the past.
