Sewing for the Grandbaby

Our children live a little bit of a distance so when they have chance to visit it causes a bit of excitement around here. All my hubby’s been talking about is the granddaughter coming. For me, it means making something special for her visit, maybe a cute outfit she can go home with.

Here’s a cute idea to try that won’t break the bank and looks fairly easy to do. Click on the pictures for the link just in case you want to try it yourself.

These ruffled pants are so adorable I just have to try them. Thank you to Stephanie Japel and Craftsy for the tutorial.

 

Anyone else have an idea or two for me to try or post? Send me a picture with the link.

High School Diploma for Grandma

I thought I was something getting my BSN but a friend beat me by a mile. After years of trying and 4 failed attempts she got her high school diploma. Now I am sure some cynical folks might laugh about the 4 attempts but I am in awe. Most people wouldn't have stuck it out and tried again. Most would have given up but she didn't. Her motivation was her grandchildren. She doesn't want them to think she's stupid. I don't think they will. I think they'll see their grandma as someone who'll keep trying when she wants something even when the odds are stacked against her. I keep seeing the smile on her face when she told me about it. She is so proud of her accomplishment and I am proud for her. So here's to my friend, Sandy! I am so proud of your accomplishment and preserverance. What you did was impressive and I am proud to know you. Thank you.
