Sew fun!

Neeley has a loose tooth!  Her first one and boy does it jiggle!  So much in fact that we knew we had to run out and make her special tooth fairy pillow just in case it falls out!  Off to the fabric store we went to pick out some fabric for their special project.  Kayla instantly fell in love with the Frosty the Snowman fabric.  At first I thought, snowman in August??? but then why should I care, so snowman it was for Kayla.  Neeley on the other hand was a bit more careful and picked something that would last the whole year, Hello Kittie!  After picking out a few things for baby Kate too, we headed home to make our projects. 

Kayla's project was a Frosty book that she now uses for a pillow.  Neeley opted for the pillow case with the special tooth pocket so the tooth fairy could easily find her tooth.   It was fun to teach the girls a little about sewing and they loved helping with the projects!

Not only is it quality time with mom but what a wonderful skill to pass on. I think it is so important that we teach our kids the value of being self-sufficient. My sister was telling me today that President Monson said that kids need to learn to entertain themselves and not just to be entertained. What a wonderful way for them to entertain themselves and learn to beautify their home.
