I just started teaching my 8 yr old granddaughter to sew. We spent a lovely afternoon together making simple sewn Christmas tree decorations .
She is normally a very headstrong young lady and always moving so I was happy to see her fiercely concentrating on her project. She was so pleased with herself. After 3 ornaments for our tree she said she needed to make a star for her other grandma, which she did.
Next stop - knitting!
I laughed today and it felt good.
