February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in. I finally purchased a new monthly focus board. We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good! My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy! My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just
Oh the sweetness of your oldest granddaughter wanting to learn how to sew!
My oldest granddaughter is 8 years old. Loves to do crafts, create and design. Needless to say we gave her her own little sewing machine with all the trimmings for her 8th birthday which was in April. Her mom, my oldest daughter has said that she wants to sew everything!!!
She wanted to make a bib...she cut it out by herself and began!
You know the problem we have as parents and grandparents is wanting to do it for them. However, I decided that she would do this...mistakes and all! How else will we learn?
Of course she seemed to have WAYYYYY more patience than I ever thought about having~
Her finished product wasn't half bad for an 8 year old.
She was so proud of herself and so was I!
Then she got real brave and decided that she wanted to embellish a tee shirt.
Have I mentioned patience?
I am so proud of her I could just SPIT!
Thank you for tooten with me today on my granddaughter Raygen's accomplishments!

She did a fantastic job on those projects! And at only eight years old, that is just wonderful. I am certain having you for a NaNa has been a huge inspiration and influence on her because you are so creative. Hopefully she will never lose her interest. Who knows.... Maybe you have a budding clothing designer or interior decorator there!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, she is on her way!!! You are so right about letting them learn. I wish I had a dedicated place for sewing like I used to. My girls are really wanting to do it, and I need to let them. Wonderful post Cindy:-)
ReplyDeleteOh, you so have a right to be proud. She did great....but I think she has a super duper mentor!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that child has real talent. Both projects are just adorable. I can see why you are so proud. She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet Miss Cindy. She done a good job. Nita B
ReplyDeleteShe did a great job! So sweet and what wonderful memories you both are making together :)
ReplyDeleteSPIT AWAY, GRANDMA, BECAUSE YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER IS AWESOME! She has done an AMAZING job on the bib and t-shirt! My granddaughters (7 & 9) want to learn to sew also. I think I should get them their own sewing machine. Its so wonderful that your granddaughter has just taking it up so easy. And as I tell my grandgirls "patience is a virtue!" And every now and then they remind me of that...
ReplyDeleteWonderful blessings to you!
