Fun With My Grandchildren! * Kimberly

For some time Kimberly and I have been planning to sew together. On Thanksgiving day, Kimberly remained behind when her family left for home. We played games that night and had a good time. The next morning we got out my trusty sewing machine and together we made a skirt! Kimberly did most of the sewing. It was a perfect starter pattern and we were done in no time. A new skirt needs a new top so we went downtown and found a perfect top to go with it. Next door was a great candy shop that makes wonderful fudge! Kimberly and I each picked our favorite kind - peanut butter for her and mint for me. :-)

Her new skirt really needed a slip and I thought we could find one when we took her home. To my surprise, no one sells slips for little girls. I called every possible place and even looked on the internet. She wanted so much to wear her new skirt and with no slip in sight, desperate times required desperate measures! Rooting through my dresser I found an old slip of mine. With some drastic alterations, it was reduced to one just her size. She now has a new skirt and top, and her Grandma's old slip! :-)

When Ken and I took Kimberly home, we got there just in time to attend a special choir concert performed by the school choir she is part of. They sang beautifully and it was wonderful watching her perform. She's growing into such a beautiful young woman and I look forward to many more wonderful times together.
