Gibsons and grandkids




Ron and I went over to Gibsons today and enjoyed seeing the kids. I stayed 3 days and among other things, taught Hana how to sew on the sewing machine. It has a push button for power and I thought that would be good for a 6 year old, but after 3 days practice, Hana preferred to use the foot pedal because she could control it more. At one point, she'd been playing dress up before she joined me. She learned to do everything, wind and install the bobbin, thread the machine and loved changing stitches. We hemmed the LR curtains, made a color book for Trey and I finished a book cover for Suzanne. Hana made a sleeping bag for her stuffie horse, named Cleopatra and did the embroidery on front with 2 different stitches and colors. Hana said, I love sewing Omi. Maybe I'll do more and start my own company so I can sell things. I agreed and she said, 'well not right away, I'm only 6 you know.'
