Today was a big day for Brenna.

Here’s a new quilt and pillows for her doll house. She learned to sew on the sewing machine. Not only that, she had to measure and do math with fractions to figure out how big to cut her fabric allowing for seam allowances. She seemed like a natural. I think there will much more straight-line sewing in the days to come. She has patchwork plans for this little dollhouse, and wants to make a blankie for the new baby. We’ll see how interested she stays in this sewing thing. Using the machine was certainly a thrill. A girl after my own heart

After playing in the snow this afternoon she came up with something missing…

FINALLY.

Her top right front tooth has been hanging by a thread for days. That would have driven me crazy as a kid. I would have pulled it out a month ago. She just wanted to wait until it happened all on its own– “That’s the more natural way to do it, Mom.”

Well, she swallowed it, naturally.
