"Mom, what can we do together?" Sydney asks.
I hope she continues to ask this question.
I hope she continues to want to spend time with me.
I hope she will continue to want to do something together.
We went to our "Bernina Basics" class together on Saturday. So we learned basic basics. In the first hour and a half, as both of our stomachs were protesting vehemently for food and our mouths were parched, I took notes on needle sizes and types, thread types, and Sydney listened and laid her head on the table. At last, we were able to take a break and run to the convenience store together for a snack and a drink. Ahhh. . . one of Sydney's favorite things to do together is have a snack and this was no exception. The second half with our satisfied tummies, we learned how to clean the machine and do some basic stitching. "Let's make a baby blanket for Jasper!" Sydney says.
So we have our first goal together.
A baby blanket.
And after a little mishap with Toby the beagle stepping on the foot pedal . . .
{which I knew how to take care of because of our Bernina Basics class}
we completed our first sewing project together.
Our community is in a baby boom this summer.
So together, Sydney and I plan to make pink and blue
snuggly blankets for the new babies in central Meade County.
Now I am ready for my Artistic Mother project #3 {I think}.
