After being inspired by several different photographers, I set out today to tell a story. There's always plenty going on. I just had to narrow down what to cover today.
So, I joined Kassy and Bella this afternoon in their studio (aka bedroom) where several projects were in full swing. Follow along in the storyboard above as I tell the story and give the full picture.
We have three February birthdays in our house. Bella's famous in our house for her gifts of cards and candy. I suggested she use her knack for Cricut creating to make cards this month. After all, a 10-year-old is on a budget and handmade is so much more personal anyway. She was finishing up the first card when I got upstairs.
Kassy, meanwhile was working on Maya's Mary Janes. She was snagged on a sketchy part of the pattern, and we spent awhile troubleshooting together. Eventually, we deciphered what needed to be done, and she was back on the machine and sewing. For a little while at least. That old pesky tension issue with the bobbin popped up again. Once again we were back to troubleshooting. The threading was good, so we broke out the can of spray air to clear out dust and lint. That did the trick.
Maya woke up from her nap and made her way upstairs to join us. She entertained herself by stealing, or secretly gathering, up her sisters odds and ends to play with. She was very proud of the crochet hook she had gotten ahold of. She was certain that the big girls were unaware of her tricks and seemed pretty pleased with herself.
Bella moved on to her next card, making steady progress.
Maya found a tangled necklace to add to her collection. It kept her engaged for a good bit. Notice how she's sporting Kassy's pin cushion bracelet?
Kassy is a perfectionist. The first shoe was nearing completion, and there were a few things she was not happy about. A little frustration was creeping in. This last photo of her is right before she decided to call it quits for the day and come back tomorrow with a nice fresh mind.
Bella continued to work, piecing together cute little odds and ends to create adorable birthday wishes for her sisters. And, finally, one of her finished products.
