Summer came to pass... for a brief and glorious day or so. So we did this:

And then, the rains came in again; so I made a bed for my princess castle. 

All by myself!

(She hand-stitched three of the sides,  stuffed it, then worked the pedal on the machine while I guided it through... She spent a lot of time with this and was quite proud). 

And that was such fun, that I decided I needed a carriage, too. 

Much to mom's relief, I stopped short of needing to make my own horse. 

We discovered a lot of mom's art and sewing supplies today. 

The winner? Stuffing.

While Winnie made beds and carriages, I was content to sport a sweet apron

and an elfin beanie and do some drawing.
