Pioneer Doll Fun

I had so much fun with my granddaughters as a result of our Jubilee.  I borrowed the DVD, and showed it to my granddaughters.  We then got into the fabric "leavins" of their Great Grandmothers fabric stash, and they picked out fabric pieces ( some of which were leftovers from clothes my mom made me). the bodies were left over fabric from my wedding tablecloths. I got out the button jar that was my mom's ( don't tell my sisters I have it.)and they picked eyes.  It was a great second sewing project.  They learned how to go around a curve, clip curves, and sew buttons on, thread a real needle. ( not a yarn one like we have been using).  The littlest one took a nap with hers.  What special memories we made that day.
Daughters, this is what I would like to see on this blog.  Please share the fun things you are doing with your children and grandchildren to help them appreciate their pioneer heritage.  If you don't know how to post to the blog, let me know I will be happy to help, or do it for you. Would love for Jayne and Dottie to send me a picture of the books you completed. They were great ideas.
Have a great summer.
Love
Marlene
