My Little Helper

I must apologize for the lack of blogging. I've been working hard on preparing for Addie's 4th birthday party, which is over 2 weeks away. but...i have 2 weddings i am second shooting and another our family will travel to attend and be out of town for the 3 days right before her party.

needless to say, the prep for a "science party" requires a pretty hefty "to do" list; and if you know me, you know there's plenty i'll add to that!

i co-hosted a baby shower for a dear friend, and one of the other hosts had made a bunting for baby boy. i'd been eying them on p1nterest, and that was the push i needed to make my own.

i'd cut the pieces, had a friend help me create the letters which i then traced and cut from the fabric, and it was time to sew. so out came the sewing machine...and my little helper.

when you sew a two sided piece, it means you sew the wrong sides together and then turn each piece. that's about 20 flags that have to be sewn and turned and then pressed.

and turning was a perfect job for my eager little helper. she skipped her rest time and sat sweetly next to me as i was sewing (complete with her mismatched sock).

as each piece came off the sewing machine, she took out the pin and then turned the piece.

she was so proud of her work,

and she stuck with it far longer than i would have guessed.

and i loved every minute of it!
