We are Sowing

According to plan, yesterday Mauri and I went to the park, took a nap, then tackled a sewing project. Mauri has wanted to sew again ever since we made some pajama pants together last summer at Grandma G's house. She was excited to choose some fabric (from my somewhat limited collection), and decided to make a flannel blanket for her Webkinz.

She helped cut the squares.  She figured out the pattern for her quilt.  She sewed the pieces together.  She loved every minute of the project.  I loved that she was so happy.

From start to finish, it only took us about an hour and a half.  Such a small amount of time for such feelings of 
accomplishment and joy.

Mauri loves her mini quilt so much, she has decided to keep it for herself.  
Maybe she'll occasionally share with a Webkinz or baby doll.

It was the most well-spent hour of my week. While we were sewing, I was also sowing... the seeds of time, attention, and love. Mauri's spelling on her list was more accurate than she knows {wink}.
