Sam and I spent the afternoon together on Saturday…just the two of us.
I love to sew but I am no expert. In fact, I can only sew straight lines, so I am always on the lookout for easy sewing projects! Easy Sewing Projects: I am slowly teaching myself how to sew with a machine….in the past week I’ve made three new skirts for Ella using this...

She came home all fired up about owl puppets. and what ensued was three days of constant puppet making in the dining room. Ella...
