Community Fair

Maddie and Maggie entered some things in the Community Fair this weekend and surprised themselves by how well they did. I spent the last few days leading up to the fair reminding them "this is your first fair" and "you're both just kids"...I didn't want them to get their hopes too high - of course, we knew they'd place, we just had no idea how great they'd do!

We're so proud of the girls! This is Megan's first year of sewing. Madilyn has been doing lessons for three years now and she just keeps getting better and better! It's a cinch they couldn't have done any of this without Shirley and Grandma Janet!

Those girls are amazing! They should be so proud of their work. I know you are. How are they at sewing merit badges?

Wow! That is awesome work that both the girls have done! I sure hope that I can find a sewing group for my little one when she is older. (Right now she just sits on my lap!) I can't say that I have a favorite out of the photos here... they are all super! Thanks for showing us!
