When I asked

what Abby's hobby was, the five year old Abby confidently replied, "Looking in the mirror!"


So over the last 2 years in an attempt to develop a 'different kind of confidence' in my self-assured daughter we have tried to develop new hobbies.


Luckily she received, from her grandparents, a wonderful sewing machine for Christmas.


So far she has sewn her American Girl Doll, Jamie, a new blanket and pillow.







Amazing how much time there is in a day, when you aren't spending it looking in a mirror that is.

What a great Christmas present and a wonderful Mother who is taking the time to teach her how to sew.

she will have so much fun over the years with that machine. she'll be a master in no time. i wish i had practiced more as a kid-it shows that the only experience i really have is in adjusting salvation army clothes for a cheap outfit while at college.

Yay Abby! What a great skill to be learning!

Well, at least she is confident in her looks! :) But it's good that she is learning other things as well.
