Kaylee is Crafty

Last year Grandma and Grandpa Gadd gave Kaylee a sewing machine for her birthday. The pedal on the machine is very sensitive, so after trying it out a time or two she panicked a little and put it away. She hasn't wanted to try to sew with it ever since. Lately she's been doing a lot of hand sewing (what can I say, the kid is crafty). She's been making her own button holes on doll clothes she's created, and she's spent many hours meticulously hand stitching her latest creations. I've been telling her that if she'd use her sewing machine, her crafts would most likely last longer, so last Saturday she braved the sewing machine again. Once she got used to the pedal, she was a whiz. I gave her some practice assignments, and then we started on her latest creation. We searched online for simple sewing projects and found a tooth fairy pillow. Since Landon is starting to lose teeth, she decided to make him his very own toothy pillow. She stitched up this cute project with minimal help, was able to pass off a Faith in God goal, and made her little brother quite happy.
