Big M's Sewing

Big M has found that she likes sewing.  She started learning last summer while visiting Mamaw and Papaw.  This summer we decided that it would be fun to sew some birthday gifts for friends.  The simplest thing she has learned to sew at this point is a pillowcase.  And, she does an awesome job at it! We have been finding out what her friends' bedding looks like and then trying to make the pillowcase to coordinate with it. She has also used scrap fabrics to make book marks, and Big M has learned that Mamaw's and my sewing machine have some really neat stitches.  So proud of her and her creativity.  I really cannot wait to see what she sews next!

Concentrating on sewing up a pillowcase for her friend Avery.

All finished!

Little M Can FINALLY Ride A Bike!!!

We have known for about a year that Little M was ready to ride a bike, but SHE had not decided that she was ready yet. We hoped it would happen soon since she was about to outgrow her bike and we knew the next biggest bike probably would not have training wheels.  About 1 month ago, someone suggested we take off the pedals so she could balance on the bike and scoot along.  Well, Little M gained some confidence and figured it out.  Check out this video of one of her first rides.  She wants to ride her bike all the time now!  We couldn't pay her to ride her bike before she learned to ride without the training wheels. Big progress!
