Pearl's Pearls

Do you ever go through your photos and find little treasures that you never posted or forgot about?  I found this from a couple of months ago that I think belongs in a frame.  I love how Pearl is looking at her reflection, watching her dress float up with a gust of wind, the sun illuminating those beautiful locks.

Each year the girls' school holds a little Christmas shop where the kids can buy gifts for family and friends.  Everyone else counted up their change and stuffed it in their backpacks, hoping they had enough for everyone on their list.

Pearl decided that she was going to make her gifts instead.  That's my girl. 

 Out of all my kids, I never would have guessed she would have been my one who has latched onto sewing like she has.  She can thread a needle, tie the knot, work the sewing machine and do hand embroidery.

After I made that Rollie Pollie for my kids, she wanted one for her doll. She asked if I would make it, but couldn't wait, so she just made her own.

There are quite a few of these laying around, too.

This one is my favorite.  A velveteen rabbit with golden whiskers.  Right now she's working on a fish.  I can't wait until she finishes it, because I have a feeling it's going to be quite spectacular.
