Much of the time we spent with EO, mom and Olivia last week was creative time. Melissa came home with the intention of making rag dolls for the girls and we actually did it! I made two for Margaret and she made three for Olivia. It was LOTS of fun and very rewarding to start on a project and finish it quickly. I started Margaret's first "dolly" while she was at school on Wednesday and by the time I picked her up from her Mimi's around 3, the doll was finished! She actually has slept with her first doll, Monica, every night and is sleeping much more like a big girl. She says Monica helps her sleep! YEAH!!
We also worked on Margaret's quilt. Olivia was very interested in my painting Margaret's hand--so of coarse I painted hers too. Margaret was delighted for Olivia to make hand print too. While Margaret spent some time in Columbia this weekend, I embellished some of the hand prints and made them into representations of the month (it is a month by month quilt). We only have two more prints to do and just a little more sewing on some of the existing prints to make them complete! Then comes the hard part....putting it all together.
Below are a few shots of our creativity....hopefully Melissa can add some more from her camera! HINT HINT! Last week was a very relaxing week and I look forward to having more time this summer to create together!
