Making Stuffed Animals

I've discovered that Daisy is fascinated with sewing

Heather took Libby to the fabric store about a week ago and Libby saw a book that had stuffed animals in it. Well Heather told Libby if she could find the pattern by herself then Heather would buy it for her. Sure enough Libby came back with the pattern. The kids didn't have school today so Heather called and asked if I would help Libby make her Monkey. I said I'd love to, how hard could it be with a pattern. Well let's just say it was an all day project and my fingers are a little red. This was Libbys first time using the sewing machine and she did great, it's my own fault I didn't get my fingers out of the way : ). She cut out and sewed the whole thing with very little help. I think she enjoyed it and loves the new stuffed friend. Hanna took one look at it and said "Lib, will you make me a horse" Libby of coarse beaming said "yea sure," so I guess we will be attempting a stuffed horse next week.
