Lest I die a slow death from persistent nagging, I patiently taught Emily how to backstitch and how to sew on a button. (I'd have been happy to do this when she was say, eight or nine.) She took over an abandoned project of mine which was supposed to become a sock monkey for her, oh, two years ago. Meet Melanie Melody Peterson. (She is a worm.) I don't know where the name came from.

And now, in her nightie:
Note, this worm has two feet, unlike Lowly Worm, who has only one. Melanie Melody Peterson is blessed to have two feet.

What a blessing to have such enthusiasm and motivation at such an age! Your girls are such blessings and what talent!!

ReplyDeleteGod bless your day!
I love your blog and your blog header is wonderful!

Cute name - a real tongue twister. Perhaps sewing is her gift and you will have a great seamstress in the family.
ReplyDeleteLove Em's glasses, but I think I've said that already. :)
