Inspired by an Elephant







Sara and Kelsey had a sleepover Sunday night, and they decided to go to Piccolo Mondo to buy a little sewing kit. They chose an elephant and came right home to start sewing. They both sewed up their elephants in a matter of minutes. Kelsey has now caught the sewing bug. As soon as Sara left yesterday, she wanted to go to the store so that she could buy fabric to make Sara a pillow. On our way home from the store, I looked in the rearview mirror, and Kelsey's face was so precious. I haven't ever seen that kind of excitement in her face. She decided to make two pillows for the sleepover that they are having tonight at Sara's house. She made McKenzie a cell phone case, and is going crazy with who else she can make things for. Over the past 24 hours, she has spent at least 6 hours sewing. She told me that she woke up at 6:00 and wanted to start sewing again, but she made herself go back to sleep :) She is so excited to be at Sara's tonight and is hoping that Uncle Sam will show her how to use a sewing machine.

Good for Kelsey! Is she taking orders yet (a cell phone cover sounds like a great idea!)? :)
